I hate my plot

[wickedwords]

I got 3/4 of the way through a list of scenes, and realized I hated what I was doing; I was essentially drafting a cave story, and it had no cleverness to it. It was just...lying there like a gutted trout. So I think I am back to reexamining what I want this one to do, and what I want it to be. Anyone got some favorite story tropes that you'd like to see?

Man vs. Nature. The story I started was sorta that basis, but it just didn't gel. I do love those, especially ones where nature goes wild.
