    OOH MY GOD! :D
    Write about like these two people with the ability to become invisible!
    And they're like shneaking and spying on everyone when finally they bump into each other and then they go and do their thing together!!;)
    xD

    On a more serious side,
    maybe you could write about a teenager/teenagers that have no friends and feel alienated and invisible to everybody around them. And just talk about their struggles through life and how (say if you're talking about two people that feel lonely), say they met each and became friends in the end or something. HAPPY ENDING!! :)
    OR ALTERNATIVE ENDING: One friend commits suicide, and then the other starts like a campaign raising awareness towards suicide or something
    and then the world becomes a happy place yet again?

    I HAVE NO IDEA
    That's all I thought of.. :pac:
    Probably not too helpful but maybe it'll help in the slightest?? :o

    Write(an idea) about how, you can be clearly visible, clearly alive, in a sea of other people, yet in the stretch of a big city, you're all invisible under its gaze. And compared to the planet, and life, in general, we're all invisible. And how, only by living our life, to the fullest, do we step out of the darkness of invisibility, and we are seen.

    Just about one guy, who feels invisible, cos no one notices him? Or.... about how invisibility can be, for a person, self imposed by loneliness?
