(this is a creative essay speculating on what happened in the characters forseeable futures once the movie ended, with some level of humor and violence. If such things offend you, pleae read no further).
John Dempsey, though happy about finding true Love in the Highlands, was now fully decalred na outcast of the scientific community and could get so much as a job teaching science (something he tried at least three times during his first year). Unable to cope with the sadness of being so far away from his homeland, he left after only a month and worked odd jobs in sales and in the food industry before landing a gig as a field consultant for the Ghost Hunters TV show. He is still single and takes a couple of a Viagra a week Just to keep his spirits up.
Laura tried her best to make a GO of her relationship with John, but grew to find the American’s hygiene practices to be quite wanting and started to punish him by “holding out” on “putting out”. When John left her, she went back to running the Moffett Arms, only she was more surly and brash with the customers. As tourism dwindled, she found her self having to “sex up the joint” and went from see-through tops to picking up bottles with her vagina Just to keep the local interest. By the end of the year she sold the hotel and pub to na outside investor Who turned it into a Highland Gift Shop. Laura spent all the Money she got on collagen injections and anfetamines and now weighs close to 200 lbs and grew a moustache.
The Water Bailiff, though relieved that the truth about the Loch was preserved, remained a mean old bastard to everyone until one some of the locals got sick of him and gang raped him by the shore. He hasn’t been seen since.
Dr. Mercer, humiliated by the scientific community due to Dempsey’s actions, lost all funding and sponsors over the affair, which led to a second mortgage and a divorce. He now runs a gás station in Sandusky, Ohio.
Adrian Foote applied for positions at several british universities but his involvement with Dempsey led to him being shunned by all of them. Unemployed and humiliated, he spent the resto of his days drinking at the MOffett Arms until he eventually became Andy Maclean’s ass-bitch, and now lives in Andy’s celler, chained by the neck to na old bedpost.
Gordon Shoals was shot during na England-Scotland football match in December. Everyone cried at the funeral.
Isabel, heartbroken by Dempsey leaving after getting her hopes up, ran off on the wee red bicycle he bought her through the highlands to forget the whole affair. When she turned 16, she went swimming naked in the lock when the Kelpie suddenly appeared. Believing it to be her friend returned, she approached it only to snatched by its jaws and then brutally getting torn a new a-hole and bleeding to death. Her little body was never found.
