"SNAKELAND MUST BE DESTROYED!": SCENE FIFTEEN


* This is a fictionalized account of some shit that actually happened. All the names, locations, etc. have been changed to protect the innocent as well as the guilty. – JG *


HOOVER (v.o.)

Fortunately, some others were harder to convince.

FADE IN:

INTERIOR – MISERY KID’S BEDROOM – NIGHT

The Snake comes tapping at the Misery Kid’s window with its tongue. No response from the Kid, who continues sleeping. More tapping from the Snake. Still no response from the Kid. The Snake bangs his head hard on the window three times. The Kid bolts upright, eyes half-open, hair going in about one million directions. The Snake bobs back and forth.

SNAKE

Use the razor blade. Use it tonight.

The Kid stares at the Snake for several moments.

MISERY KID

Snakes are gay.

The Kid slams back down onto his bed, pulls the pillow over his head. The Snake shakes its head and slowly slithers away.

FADE TO BLACK

'snakes are gay' made me crack up:) a spotlight on misery kid is great, i love the surprise snap that leads out unlike the others tho it has the similar sssssss sensation in the outset as did the others (snake is lurking slithering from the first few words), this time the diff is the misery kid only listens to himself or something , ADD maybe lol -

i sense a looming somethingorother dangerbound in this scenario tho sofar he keeps ahead.- i'll be watching him) like the sting "any move you make" song hahah
