    NUmber One, I reckon. Plenty of fun and games to be had, and a challenge with making the central protagonist an anti-hero? But I think you'll need some kind of twist to make it more interesting. I wondered about making it about the two women after the event and their relationship, rather than about the murder itself. just a thought.

    Number two could be grreat, but you haven't said much about the story, so it's difficult to tell. What makes it stand out?

    I wouldn't go for number three. Why imitate someone else's style? Especially in piece that you might hope would turn into a calling card script, where you'd want to demonstrate your personal voice.

    And number four... Well, initially I though this was a really dumb idea - why write what someone else thinks is a good idea?!!! But, actually it's not so dumb after all. Most professional screenwriters make most of their income from writing to other people's commissions - TV series episodes, adaptations etc. So, it coujld be an interesting challenge simply to take someone else's "commission" and see what you can do with it.

    Whatever you do, good luck!

    When I say "this one" in above comment I mean the first choice - the drugging couple story.

    This one has most tension/jeopardy in the way described and the one I'd like to see most.

    Second choice would be grandparents but only if their story was interesting/different. What was it that was keeping them apart or fueling the hate? There's a famous romcom film with James Stewart set in a dept store. May be worth a look for research.

    Good luck!!!
