FADE IN
EXT. YOU T. SCRIPTWRITER'S HOME, YOURTOWN - NIGHT
A nice home, dark except for one basement light.
BLACK CAT, fat and sassy, pads along the side of the house.
He hears computer keys clacking passionately.
He pauses by the lighted window. His head moves from side to
side as he reads something inside.
Nose in the air, he stalks off. Everyone's a critic!
INT. YOU T. SCRIPTWRITER'S BASEMENT FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT
YOU T. SCRIPTWRITER - 20s, incredibly handsome, attractive,
heroic - pounds the keyboard. The sound of the keys rise
into a crescendo as the story ends perfectly and even the
final FADE OUT is evocative.
YOU
There! I'll print it out tomorrow,
bind it, and stack it in the corner
with the others.
Reclining in another corner, WHITE CAT - handsome,
attractive, the heroic and faithful sidekick of the heroic
and attractive YOU T. SCRIPTWRITER - shakes his head.
White Cat crosses the room and jumps up into his companion's
lap. He places his two front paws on the keyboard.
His paws move in the blur of a seasoned computer user -
saving and closing out the script, and opening a browser.
He types in "SkyFest.net" and the site pops up. He gestures
at the screen.
YOU
Hmmm. SkyFest Film & Script
Festival. ... Wow! The script
category has FOUR cash prizes and
25 Certificates of Excellence!
White Cat gestures at the stack of scripts in the corner,
then again at the screen.
YOU
Submit via Withoutabox or directly.
Deadline March 15 for SkyFest III.
... Okay, I'll do it!
White Cat nods, jumps to the floor, and returns to his pad.
White Cat shrugs. Why is it always left up to the cat to
come up with the happy ending? Good thing he was there!
THE END
FADE OUT
