Staring at the cruise liner wallpaper on my desktop, this scene for a story came to mind:
A young couple steps out of their cabin on the cruise ship in the morning and discovers that the ship is completely empty – they are the only ones left. And the ship is standing still, going nowhere.
My task was to come up with a logical continuation of this situation. How would you continue the story of these protagonists left alone? Boldly share your thoughts. Perhaps this discussion will become the start of a new big series for Netflix : )

Vladimir Romantsev If it's a Supernatural Thriller, the ship sailed into some strange dimension that took everyone except the couple for some reason.

Maurice Vaughan Yes, my version of the story is also about other dimensions, like the series Dark Matter.
Sounds interesting, Vladimir Romantsev! I like the title! I forgot to put what happens next. The couple fights for their lives against beings that show up to replace the missing people.

Yes, beings from the depths that symbolize the subconscious. But in reality, it's not the people on the ship who vanished—it's the young couple who vanished. And in the real world, the cruise liner continues to sail as usual, with all passengers present except for the young couple...

Maurice Vaughan Your version is interesting! Doppelgängers replace the real people on the ship. And the young couple are the only real ones...

Thanks, Vladimir Romantsev. I like your version! You could show the couple are the ones who vanished upfront or use it as a twist.

i will say... the couple soon discovers the ship isn't empty - it's just stuck between worlds. the passengers have slipped into parallel realities and now the pair must decide which version of their lives they're willing to fight their way back to........ hm.
