As I was falling asleep last night I was thinking about a story wherein people's bodies became separated from their souls and they had to do something to get them back. Almost like indentured servitude for souls. The entity who protects people from the soul snatchers is actually the same entity as the soul snatchers! They get you coming and going.
It'd be a hero story with a young girl as the hero. She's not super pretty or super athletic or super anything. She's just a girl. She's a little chubby. She is shy around boys. She has a hard time controlling what comes out of her mouth sometimes. She has no idea that she has what it takes to bring down the entity that has her society firmly in its clutches. She's a reluctant, disbelieving hero. She has heard the legends of "haven't thought of a name for it yet" but she's 14 now and they're for kids. Sure she loved the old stories of triumph when she was little, but that was before (something terrible) happened. She's not quite cynical, but she had to grow up fast and has left childish fantasies behind her.
