Here is my pitch:

greedy Ambitious landlord gets in possession of a lucrative estate, and it turns out that anyone who owns said property gets cursed by a ghost of a squatter that died there long ago.

Our landlord has three months before the curse kills him and traps his soul in the house. Because of the curse he cannot relinquish ownership, but he still can grant it to someone else. Unwilling to give it away for free (because of his pride as a successful Landlord), he attempts to sell this obviously cursed property.

To stop his machinations the ghostly squatter employs living squatters that the landlord evicted, and some schizophrenic homeless people, so they can thwart landlord's plans of selling the property, or subverting the curse.

That's more like a short story, but the idea just popped into my head and I decided to poop it out. My writing in Polish is mediocre to bad, my English writing is just bad (passive voice, wtf is that?), so I wasn't going to write it anyway.

With my skill and work ethic I doubt it will be good or done on time.

But I'll consider it. Maybe I find some will and inspiration.
