And continues to use the machine, gaining more and more customers and making a lot of money. But filling his apartment to the brim with preserved people. He has the idea to sell them as mannequins, choosing homeless people as targets to make beautiful and to sell their mannequins for a high price. His home becomes filled with preserved people and the Doctor starts to believe that they are moving things in his house. But they’re not they’re all dead, but living in a confined space with these mannequins has started to make the doctor delusional. One night he thought he saw one of the mannequins moving closer to his cooker and starts a fire.(The doctor started the fire in a mentally delusional state and blames the mannequins) His house burns down but he is horribly disfigured. He decides to bring back his beauty by using  the plastic surgery machine therefore ending up beautifully preserved but dead.

She was a 69 year old grandmother when she came into the surgery but the machine made her look 25. He was in awe of her even though she was dead. He decided to set up a romantic meal for two that evening pushing all the mannequins  to stand beside the wall. The scene looked like a mob watching two people eat. He made dinner for two and lit candles everywhere to set a romantic mood. He had dinner every night with the mannequin and refused to sell her to vendors. He decided that he had to be with her forever so decided to go inside the plastic surgery machine so that he could remain preserved and stand by her side forever.




Idea 6( more to the ending)

A husband obsessed with making his wife look perfect takes control of her life deciding what make up she wears to what hairstyle she has. After the birth of their child she gained a lot of weight and he was determined to get her back in shape quickly so he decided to book her in for the newest plastic surgery procedure. While his wife was in the machine the ball bearings slipped out of the machine and it malfunctioned. His wife came out looking the best that she had ever looked but she was dead and perfectly preserved. The Doctor in charge was nervous about what the husband would say but to his surprise the husband was ecstatic that she looked like his perfect vision of her, he didn’t mind that she was dead. He paid the surgeon and took his wife home and set her up in his living room so that he could admire her. Her husband decided to commemorate the happy occasion by taking a picture with his dead wife with her baby in her arms.

  1. Hey Peta, idea 5 could be really interesting i think, the end would really shock the audience, and make them more connected with the passion of the character even if the act itself is slightly off putting :P

    I really like idea 6, it kinda conveys the stereotypes of how people are "supposed" to look. I think you could also hint at the end about his obsessiveness and how he wants to do the same procedure on his daughter showing how kinda of crazy and relentless he is.
