3. Conflict ideas

I will now proceed to use my imagination to come up with some potential conflicts.
In the Old West, two gold miners give up on their search for wealth and decide to band together and steal gold from others. They get rich but then one betrays the other and takes everything from him. Conflict!
A businessman gets fed up at work and decides to murder his boss. Then he has to deal with the grief and stress and hiding the crime. Suspense!
A family gets in a car crash and suddenly they're in a strange land, trying to survive and find out what the heck is going on. Confusion?
Two guys in school realize they're living in a world that repeats itself. They do the same things everyday and whatever they do, they can't escape it. They freak out. (possible ending- one dies?) Repetition!
A boy has an imaginary friend. His parents play along until it gets too serious for them. When they try to tell him to forget his friend, the friend becomes more and more real until the boy can't get rid of him. His parents think he's insane. He tries to escape, but the imaginary person begins to take control of his life and soon becomes him. The boy is gone and the imaginary person is happy to have a body to live in. Schizophrenia!
There's some solid ideas!
