ONE WEEK AGO




The scene opens up to an office. High depth, great technology, well decorated your top of the line office. Behind a marble desk sits a well-dressed man in his mid-twenties, with a powered substance on the desk. He looks in a drawer and pulls out a rainbow colored straw. He bits the tip off of the straw, and spits the remains into a garbage can. He takes the straw, places on end on the brim of his nostril, and the other end at the bottom of the substance, and begins to snort. The substance travels up the straw and into his nose, and he immediately jerks his head back as if he were punched in the face.

Wheeeewww, that’s some strong shit. He says in a mild tempo voice. He starts to but the straw back into the substance, but a woman enters the room. He tosses the straw in the trash, and uses his hand to sweep the powered substance into the trash. He blows his breath on the desk sending the residue away. He scuffles some papers that are sitting in the corner of his desk, as if he were doing some work.

Oh… Ms. Nancy, how may I help you?He tries to say in a calm voice as if he wasn’t snorting drugs a moment ago.

Cut the crap, Ezekiel. I’m not gettin’ any gigs, any money, nothing. What’s up, Ezekiel? What happened to the promoter who used to get my ass on stage seemingly every night? Oh I know, you started snorting that shit again, and tried to play it off as if I didn’t see you.

Nancy, baby, I’m going to need you to calm down. Bring the attitude down from here, to here.He uses hand gestures to signalize what he means.

Look, I don’t know what the fuck you are doing, but you aren’t returning my texts, calls, emails, tweets, shit do I need to Instagram direct you?

I don’t think that would be necessary. Look this is what’s up, I have taken up a new occupation, as aHe says under his breathI can’t believe I am about to say thisHe converts back to his normal tempo.Professional wrestler.

You’ve got to be shitin’ me. A wrestler? You? You are going to throw on tights and get in a bow with a bunch of sweaty guys, so you can grabs each other’s man boobs.

Bitch… It’s not like that. You should know I am not gay after I shawshanked your sweet ass, a few weeks ago.

Nancy stairs at Ezekiel in the eye with a “you’re going to go there” facial expression. She crosses her arms, and taps her foot on the ground.

Now, what we’re going to do is, you’re going to take your fine ass in the studio. Record a whole new album, make that shit a hit. In the meantime, I will get you some people to collaborate with, and other cute shit.

Don’t worry about me, I have some new rhymes already brewing in my mind.

Good, now if you will excuse me, I have a porn website to attend to.

Why need porn when you have me?

Nancy walks over to in front of Ezekiel and strokes his testicals through his pants. He looks at her and smiles and she kisses him passionately. She grabs the back of his head and he lifts her up and puts her on the desk.

All I need is a quickie; your boyfriend is supposed to come over in about thirty minutes.

Hurry it up then, I don’t want him to catch us.

Ezekiel unbuckles his belt and unzips his pants. He pulls up Nancy’s skirt and moves her panties to the side. He pulls out his member and a condom, but Nancy takes the condom and throws it across the office.

You won’t need that baby, I’m on the pill.

Ezekiel shrugs his shoulders than shoves his member into Nancy. He thrust his hips back and forth, as Nancy moans. Suddenly the door opens and a man walks through the door.

Oh Ezekiel, that’s my boy!

Yeah Josh, you know how I do.

Little did Josh know, his girlfriend was the girl that Ezekiel was pounding. Her face was not in his view, so he was oblivious to the fact. Ezekiel grabs Nancy by the back of the head and tosses her under the desk. He turns around, away from Josh and fixes his pants.

So, I’ve been thinking. You are doing great, and you have a lot going. So I’m thinking of giving you a raise.

Really, brah? Thanks, now I can buy Nancy a ring! Yeah, I was going to ask her to marry me, playa. And I want you to be the best man.

Umm…. Really? That’s great.

OH I can’t do this!

Nancy gets up from under the chair. She stands there, with a ruffled shirt, and half her breast hanging out. Josh eyes open as if he has seen a ghost.

Look, Josh. I’ve… I’ve been fuckin’ Ezekiel for quite some time now. I can’t marry you with this burden on my chest. I need to tell you that me and Ezekiel have been having an affair for a year!

No…. no… NO!!!

Josh charges at Nancy and punches her in the face. Nancy falls to the ground and holds her face while sobbing. Josh looks at Ezekiel and starts to swing, but Ezekiel dodges him and elbows him in the face. Josh tumbles back and holds his head. Ezekiel grabs something from under his desk and puts it behind his back. Josh looks at Ezekiel and charges at him, and Ezekiel pulls the item, which is revealed to be a pistol, from behind his back. Ezekiel pulls the trigger and Josh falls to the ground. Ezekiel drops the weapon and runs to Josh’s aid. He kneels down and holds Josh up by the back of the head.

Don’t die on me man. I’m sorry it was in the heat of the moment!

Uh…. Uhh…. Ee…. Ezekiel. Whhaa…. Why?

Josh’s head falls back and Ezekiel lays him on the floor. He stands up and puts his hands on head in disbelief. Nancy stands up and screams. Ezekiel runs over and puts his hand over her mouth.

SHUT UP!

After a few moments of sobbing, Nancy calms down, and Ezekiel moves his hand.

Now, this is what’s going to happen. We’re leavin’ town.

We?

Yes us, I can say you were in this with me and we planned this out. Now you either do as I say or go to jail. Now we are going to get out of town. We are leavin’ this place, so go get your shit together and meet me at the airport at noon.

And… and what about him?

I’ll deal with him. We’re all in this together now, Nancy. It’s me and you against the world.

Ezekiel whips the meth residue from his nose.

Man Meth is one hell of a drug.

The scene fades to black after it shows Ezekiel grabbing Josh's dead body by the ankle.
