HI, me again. This is what I wrote and have sent to agents. My Synopsis of Meat Suits:
The news echoes into every nook and cranny of the universe. Itโs true. New laws
have been passed, forbidding all human interference or possession, punishable by death.
As triumphant jubilation and excitement fades, reality rears its ugly head. Thousands of career orientated angels and demons find themselves not only jobless but also without purpose.
Depressed, bored and without hope, angels, and demons scatter into the universe to seek out new meaningful and rewarding prospects.
Pyriel, a disgraced arch angel and Asmodeus, her contentious objector demon friend, discover a โgreyโ area that technically does not constitute human interreference or possession. Using their powers, they slip into, and re-animate deceased humans. They call them meat suits. They haunt the cities morgues, shopping for meat suits to use on their nightly pilgrimages in search of entertainment, good Whiskey, and biker gangs to annoy and terrorise. Unbeknown to them, they have become trendsetters of sorts.
After one too many โZombieโ related incidents, management intervene. The duo are to be punished. Made an example of so other angels and demons, who are also using meat suits to roam among the living, cease their shenanigans. Their punishment? Living, human bodies.
After a near fatal ambush, Detectives George Swine and Detective Abigail Thompson of the Chicago police department are rushed to hospital. In the E.R. complications arise and both bodies perish, releasing the souls and leaving behind their empty human vessels which Pyriel and Asmodeus get locked into.
The duo awake in excruciating pain, mortal, and without powers in the bodies of former Detectives George Swine and Detective Abigail Thompson.
From the moment their eyes open, Asmodeus and Pyriel embark on a roller coaster ride of mini adventures. Their mission? Assimilate into the lives of their new bodies. Continue their lives. Host some tea parties. Make some friends. Oh, and somebody is trying to kill them. Why? Who knows? Neither has any memories of their former body inhabitants let alone any idea how to survive without their powers.
Their new lives are further complicated by flatulence, food, hygiene, and the fact that losing limbs on their new bodies will have disastrous consequences.
Detective Anne Davies, former colleague to George and Abigail and new colleague to Asmodeus and Pyriel comes to visit. Asmodeus feigns amnesia. Anne believes him and provides Asmodeus with vital information while Pyriel, attached to feeding and breathing tubes listens.
Asmodeus is forced to learn many vital human survival skills such as โdo not push too hard, or elseโ and โclose your eyes when showeringโ.
The duo receive devastating news. Their injuries are worse than originally diagnosed and the prognosis of a full recovery is slim to non-existent.
Management come to visit and perform โa miracleโ.
Now fully healed, Asmodeus and Pyriel set out in their new bodies to find home and start their new lives.
