VALENTINE VIRTUOSOS WRITING COMPETITION
3rd Feb 'til Deadline of 14th February 2012
5 Pages based on following scenario
Sneaky admin insert: the contest entries thread is here
Willie Frightkin is a troubled twenty-something , you see, he believes that his new girlfriend, Ursula, has been exhibiting some very strange behaviour recently. She was always a little odd, an oddity, but then again, so is Willie, who with his only friend Grant Caesar, have tended to keep themselves to themselves in the small town of MORDANT.
Grant's suspicions have recently been alerted having repeatedly observed Ursula returning to the town's graveyard over the last few nights at a little after the witching hour. Why is Grant there? We simply don't know but your imagination will come in here, as elsewhere?
What's worse, in only 48 hours it's Valentine's day! The stakes are well and truly up because Willie has a ring and what's more, is intending to get engaged to Ursula, he has a table booked for 7.00pm on the eve of Feb 14th at the Tipsy Cat, 78 Main Street... that seems good and well you say, romantic and fitting even, except...
~based upon his own experiences and his friend's nocturnal observations, he has come to the firm conclusion that his new girlfriend, in spite of the fact she is walking around town in the daytime, may in fact be DEAD!
Ursula on the other hand is looking forward to the 14th Feb, her tarot cards have promised a big change in her life on that day!
Is Ursula dead, or just pale and white in appearance with a low pulse and taken by visiting graves, midnight machinations? Will Willie lose her and go back to 10 more years of singledom? What does he do? The restaurant is booked, the flowers timed to arrive 'tableside' at 7.30pm... his girlfriend possibly a card-carrying member of the living dead... 48 hours slips away very quickly!
We need to know what happens! Lots of possibilities and your take and that of other entrants will differ, which is where the 'scenario' competition should prove interesting.
Okay, down to business, what we require folks~
Please write a 5 page short script based upon the above scenario, improv, add elements, do as you will. Massacre it!
