Ok, I'm going to ask my regional peeps here, because I may see some of you later on on Jabber anyway....but....

I need some ideas, and can't move forward until I have an answer to this question:

What is the most unlikely place to find redemption?

I don't want to use anything church-y, and I can't use hell. My MC doesn't have a car, and the setting is DT Chicago and the immediate outskirts.

Thoughts?????

A coffee shop. Caribou preferred.

At the bottom of a glass.

In a broken down train car in the middle of a brisk Chicago winter commute.

In a used bookstore in a building's basement.

In Cook County lockup.

In his best friend/lover.

On a water taxi at night.

The art museum.

A run-down bar.

Union Station.

Millennium Park.

The local park, maybe with kids playing.

An elevator stuck between floors.

On a boat, out on Lake Michigan. Especially at night, when you don't have to go far before you start seeing lots and lots of stars.

Or a forest preserve. The Des Plaines River Trail.

In the midst of committing a felony.

While joining in a bullying assault of a hapless student.

While sneaking out to commit adultery.

Handcuffed in the back seat of a police cruiser.

Face down in vomit in a bar after starting a drunken brawl.

While shopping in the Magnificent Mile with stolen credit cards.

Ooh....some of those are really good...Still waiting for one that "clicks" but I'm going to play around with a few. :) Thanks!
