I had a story idea while driving to Houston the other day but didn't remember it until I was driving back to Austin today. I had become fixated on the thought of alternate or multiple realities earlier in the week while listening to two of my coworkers talking about string theory and the like. I wasn't able to be properly fixated because we were at work and thus were interrupted by customers within minutes, but while I was driving my mind went back to it.
Different realities, each a variation of one particular sequence of DNA, that would be the main character, and when one of the personas die the others can feel it through a minor pain like an ache in a wrist or leg. I got that idea because my wrist was inexplicably aching while I was driving, the pain feeling like it came from my veins. So it would be like the DNA responding to that death. But what is really happening when one of the personas die is the transference of "life" to the others. So essentially, it become a survival of the fittest type of scenario where whoever is last holds all the power. Some of personae start to become away of one another through means not fully fleshed out, but I had the idea that one persona tries to kill the one main character and she slowly comes to realize this intricate muli-reality world. A supporting character would probably facilitate this.
I need to research it a bit. I started to think about how different the personae would be from one another. Usually with multiple realities, the person looks the same, but I started to think about at what level a reality can change. The precise moment an egg and sperm meet makes up a lot of factors so if something altered in a reality to change the conception, maybe I female would be male, or blonde instead of brunette. But then would the DNA be exact. Not if it was male...I don't know enough specifics yet, but the idea intrigued me.
