I hope so too. I like how it came out.

Good luck!
(I'm late to the party, as usual!)
I'm an aspiring author (duh), and I have recently finished my first novel.
It's about a normal dude, who opens a mental block inadvertantly revealing a "Strange Aura" that causes all manner of bizarre things to be drawn to him. He has run-ins with the ghost of a novelty songwriter, a werewolf, bigfoot, and a secret society of senior citizens (say it three times fast!).
If anyone's interested in checking out, I've linked it below. It's called Beyond the Graves, and I am currently seeking representation for it. Also, I just like getting feedback for it. So if you decide to read it, let me know what you think.
Also, if you know anyone in "The Biz" who'd be interested, send me a message (fat chance, I know, but I have to try!)

sometimes the ultra low budget indies are looking for scripts - but they don't usually just want to option the story - they want a fully developed script. The pay is crap and alot of times they want it for nothing but if you want to try to get your name out there...it's up to you.

To Dusty Black:
Your idea, and no offense meant to anyone else on, is by far the best in this thread.
I think most of us have the same problem; all these sci-fi/fantasy influences, the desire to write in these genres, yet an enormous difficulty in creating a truly "original" idea.
So much has been done. Honestly as soon as I read words like "FBI, special ops, private detective, hidden magic, dark lord," and even at this point just "vampire" and "werewolf" I tune out. This idea you have of removing this "mental block" and things happening to him/encounters is like nothing I've heard before. I don't know where you can take it, but by all means keep writing/submitting.
