    Iris climbed as high as she could. The branches bent down to help.She didn’t see the stranger until he was just below on the road.

    The door had fallen off the hinges. The green paint was faded and peeling. “Are you sure you want to go inside?” she whispered.

    “I think you hit your head pretty hard. Try not to move.” it was a voice she heard – unknown but gentle. She must be in bad shape.

  • Script Frenzy Day 4 – little excerpt from the Untitled script.

    by

    Well, here we go. Just the first two scenes of the screenplay. Still haven’t come up with a title for it, one will come I am sure. It’s only day 4 after all. Going to start working on the next 15 pages now (well 15 is my goal for today). Oh, and to give a little background… when I write for DD or for something like Nanowrimo or Script Frenzy – there’s no plan. I just write whatever comes up. So, when I say/ write that I don’t know what comes next… I really don’t 😉

    “Untitled”

    Screenplay
    By Leigh-Anne Tyson

    First Draft

    1. EXT. MANHATTAN, NEW YORK. NEW YEAR’S EVE – FIVE MINUTES PAST MIDNIGHT

    WS of rooftop. SABINE LAFLAMME runs onto the roof to the roof ledge. She jumps onto the top railing and stands looking around. NEW YEARS REVELLERS shout and cheer from below. Fireworks light the sky randomly. SABINE drops her black sequinned gown is left in heap in the rooftop gravel. SABINE looks over her shoulder at the last second. OC A door slams. CLU SABINE. She smirks and turns. Without hesitation she jumps off the building and disappears into the night.

    2. INT. RAVEN TOOMAS INDUSTRIES. CEO RAVEN TOOMAS’ EXECUTIVE OFFICE – MID-MORNING 3 MONTHS EARLIER

    RAVEN

    Did she get it?

    RAVEN paces. Trevor stands with BODYGUARDS. RAVEN goes to his desk and punches keys on his laptop, not looking at TREVOR ANDERSON. TREVOR walks to the side table and pours himself a drink. One GUARD steps toward TREVOR to stop him, but RAVEN shakes his head without looking up. GUARD stops. TREVOR stands at the side and drinks.

    RAVEN

    How did she do it?

    RAVEN slams the laptop screen shut.

    RAVEN

    I have the best security. The best.
    There is no way she could have gotten past security.
    The cameras the sensors. How the hell did she do it?

    TREVOR sits in a leather chair and crosses his legs.

    TREVOR

    I don’t ask her how she does it. I can’t tell you.
    Not my job to give you the details.
    I am just the messenger.
    She has it, and she sent this to prove it.

    TREVOR takes out a crisp white envelope and places it on RAVEN’s desk. RAVEN picks it up and rips the envelope open. He tips the contents into his hand.

    RAVEN

    Unbelievable.

    RAVEN holds up a single perfectly cut diamond.

    RAVEN

    How do I know you haven’t already sold the rest?

    TREVOR

    That would be bad for business now wouldn’t it?
    She doesn’t bite the hand that feeds.

    RAVEN walks to the office window behind his desk. He watches the skyline with his back turned to TREVOR. There is a long pause. No one speaks

    RAVEN

    You’re hired. Bring her to me.

    TREVOR stands.

    TREVOR

    It doesn’t work that way.

    RAVEN

    What do you mean? I am about to give you
    15 million dollars. You will bring her to me.

    TREVOR

    If you want her, you don’t get to play by your rules.
    You play by hers.

    RAVEN

    I could have you killed right now.
    That would be the end of it.

    TREVOR

    You could. Then you would lose everything that
    was in your safe. She will disappear.

    RAVEN

    If you try anything, I will hunt you down.

    TREVOR raises his hand and laughs.

    TREVOR

    Nothing I haven’t heard before. The terms of the
    deal are very clear. Her talents are in great demand
    as you can well imagine. She will contact you.
    Mr. Raven, I hope you will be ready for her.

    TREVOR turns and leaves RAVEN standing at the desk. The BODY GUARDS move to stop TREVOR, but RAVEN calls them back. TREVOR walks out of the office. RAVEN takes his cell phone out of his pocket. He stabs it with his fingers.

    RAVEN

    Follow him.

    Fade out.

  • To Weird Hollywood Poetry

    by

    How is it
    I have watched you through
    The polished shop window
    Hanging just so off of the mannequin
    And ever dared to introduce myself
    Many times, I saw my reflection
    Walking by
    As the sunlight danced off the smooth surface
    But recently, I found myself
    Standing for a long time watching
    (the window not my reflection)
    Thinking about the possibility
    Of trying you on …
    After much back and forth
    I gave in to the quiet little voice shouting
    “Ah yes! Try try try old girl just try”
    Before I could be corralled by doubt again,
    I toddled in
    Crammed myself into the change room
    Shoved both feet inside
    Tried to haul you up
    Over my broad hips…
    And wouldn’t you know
    The little voice piped up, triumphant
    “Fits like a second skin”
    – even my toes are happy
    (will need something to hide the obscene rolls
    And don’t think I did not notice that
    The boning in the bodice will poke through
    With time, to jab me in the ribs
    When I move in the wrong direction)
    Now I will have to try to learn to walk
    With you wrapped around me
    Following the wise words and advice
    Of those who know you well already,
    I humbly follow (trying not to pull at the hem)
    As you lead me with your voice
    As you guide me with your vision
    You weird and lovely Hollywood poetry
    Here is to you.

    “I want a fuzzy chicken” she said. “One with fuzzy feet”. I laughed. “What kind of eggs will it lay?” I asked. “White of course”.

    She didn’t look back. The heat from the flames told her she had only seconds to spare. One deep breath and she leapt into darkness
