BACK!

Well I was off for a couple weeks, I was sick AND I had to do some stupid test.

The important thing is that NO ONE missed me because NO ONE reads this...why would they?

Here's my final bit of my story, I did some more revisions that won't show in this blog. Again, this blog is just to get me writing on a more frequent basis, everything else is gravy.

APE


Ervin passes out, when he wakes up he's in a hospital bed. He sees Rooney beside him.

Ervin
Rooney...you stayed with me.

Rooney

No, I was just leaving actually. I was here to check on Randall.

Ervin

How is he?

Rooney

Better than you actually, he only got bit once.

Rooney turns to leave again

Rooney

I am heading home, because I was the only one to come out of this without needing a sick leave I am being rewarded with an early, double shift tomorrow.

Ervin
Sorry man.

Rooney

Hey Irvin...keep an eye on Randall, check in on him.

Ervin
He's fine

Rooney is looking into the hall trasfixed on something, he sees a second vision of Randall dead, bloodied and staring back at him

Ervin
You don't have to worry about him.

A message to the zero people reading this

Well, this next week is going to be really busy up until about Friday. I have a boring, torturous test to study for and I am hating every minute of it.

Also through talking about the big picture of the show I am writing for, some ideas have come to light that need to thread their way through each script. That means huge revisions to what I already wrote.

Back to this awful test, this is a sentence from the book, every sentence is like this, it's arduous.


Convertible preferreds are similar to convertible bonds and debentures because they enable the holder to convert the preferred into some other class of shares (usually common) at a predetermined price and for a stated.....ugggg. F' off.

So here's my thing...

I am almost finished my first rough run on this, normally I'd go through it all once more and make final changes before anyone saw it (since no one reads this that's pretty much what I am doing anyway). I've already made changes to my script that don't appear in this blog, when I am totally finished I'll post my final first draft.

I am not too crazy about any of what I am about to post today but it's always better to just get something written even if you don't like it. It's a lot easier to revise something than it is to write it from a blank page, there's something about a blank page that saps motivation to write and stifles your thinking process. Get some black on that screen and work from there.

APE


The second vampire springs onto Rooney and digs into him with it's claws, Rooney manages to kick it off of him and the vampire staggers backward and trips over the still prone Randall and falls over the edge of the cliff.

The two men sit for a moment and catch their breath

Voice on the Radio
'Your call is being forwarded to one of our operators, please stand by.'
Hello, please state your name and the nature of your emergency.

Randall
This is Randall Edmonds, employee number 5846541-1 I have a government employee in danger and I need assistance immediately. Listen carefully, I need you to access vehicle registration number G5EDD43 and do a manual override. I want you to set off it's alarm system for me. NOW.

Voice on the Radio
One moment. I see this vehicle was signed out by Rooney Rodman, I will have to fill out a 'failure of care' form which I will need him to sign, a 'failure of care' report will remain on record for 6 months.

Randall
Sorry to add to your file Rooney

Rooney
sigh...just do it.

The sound of an alarm screams, the two sit up quickly. The car is close by.

INT - CABIN

Ervin is in a deadly fight with the remaining 5 vampires, he's not doing well. The vampires surround him, he's badly hurt but still swinging. The blood that's pouring out of him is driving the vampires into a frenzy like a pack of hungry sharks, they fight over him which allows him a moment's distraction. He readies his piece of shattered wood behind his back.

The largest vampire wins the battle of dominance and the right to eat Ervin, Ervin is on his knees and has almost nothing left, the vampire grabs him by the throat and gets nose to nose with him. He senses Ervin is resigned to his fate and goes in for the kill.

Ervin grabs the vamps by the back of the head and pulls him closer, in one swift motion he plunges the stake upwards into the vampire's chest. It lets out an agonized howl and explodes.

Ervin falls back, the other vampires are excited and all move on him.

The room lights up, the vampires cringe. It's not the sun, it's headlights from a car. The headlights illuminate the two figures standing in front, silhouetted from the light.

They're strapped from head to toe, literally covered in guns and weaponry. Ervin raises his head with the last of his energy, and looks up at them. The guns charge up with a high pitched hum.

Randall
Ervin we've got doctors on standby, don't move. Rooney, 4 targets.

Rooney
4

He blasts one which explodes and covers the walls in bright red gore, then does the same with the others.

Formatting Issues

So I am writing most of this using Office Suite X and it's being a straight BITCH! It links all paragraphs together so if I want one line of dialogue to be center aligned and then want one line of action to be right aligned it's not letting that happen. If I change one it changes the other. If I hit enter a thousand times it doesn't make a different. F'n annoying is what it is.

EXT – the woods – night

Randall is racing through the woods, he can hear that vampires are on his trail. They hear Ervin scream in the background.

Randall
Ervin!

He stops. He can hear something rushing towards him, it's too close for him to do anything about. It's about to hit him, he braces.

ROONEY
RANDALL MOVE!!

Rooney bursts through the brush and grabs Randall, the pair sprint. Right behind Rooney are the two vampires. They run downhill, the vampires are bloodthirsty and only paces behind them.

Randall
Rooney do see that?

Up ahead is a precipice, a long rigid drop off of a cliff and their running out of real estate as they bound closer and closer to it's edge with the vampires hot on their heels.

Rooney
RANDALL CAN VAMPIRES FLY?

RANDALL
What?

ROONEY
CAN VAMPIRES FLY??

RANDALL
NO!

ROONEY
Good

 
Rooney trips Randall who goes tumbling right to the bottom, right to the edge of the cliff. Rooney runs off to the side, out of frame. The two vampires are right on top of him. Randall stumbles to his feet and backs up right to the edge of the cliff, the two vampires are in a frenzy and only feet away.

One leans over Randall and opens it's mouths, Something catches it's eye off camera and it's turn and growls. With the speed of hurdler Rooney comes flying feet first into the vampire with a powerful boot right off the cliff.

Still Rollin'

EXT – Outside the cabin window.

Randall is being dragged away from the cabin by 2 vampires, they drag him a few feet and then turn on him, he kicks and claws at them in an attempt to break their grasp.

Rooney comes bounding out the window with a sharp chunk of wood in his hands. The vampires let Randall go.

ROONEY
Randall, RUN!

Randall takes off into the woods. Rooney stands his ground as they start to stalk closer to him. They're within a few feet, Rooney hunkers down ready or a fight, then looks at the small piece of wood that constitutes his only weapon and his look of confidence fade.

ROONEY
Randall wait UP!

Rooney bursts past the vampires and runs off in the direction that Randall went.


INT – The cabin

The vampires growl and hiss and close in on Ervin, Ervin removes his shirt and gets primal.

ERVIN
Come ON!

The vampires close in on him, three hang back while two of them pounce on him. He kicks one in the chest and sends it flying, the other takes him to the ground. It stands over him animalistically and shows him his fangs. Ervin shoves the lighter in it's mouth and uppercuts it, the lighter explodes inside of it's mouth; lighting on fire.

In an instant the other one is back on top of him and digs it's claws into his chest in a tight grip and pulls him close, as it bites down on his neck; Ervin screams loudly.

APE

Still Doin' it

So today I have an exam to study for, over the next couple months I have two whole course loads to read, comprehend and pass in two months. It didn't leave me much time for writing. It's a short one today.

APE!

DOPE cont'd


Scene 3

INT – Cabin - Night

Ervin is nursing his wounds, Rooney and Randall are manning the barricades. We can hear the vampires howling outside. Rooney takes notice.

Rooney

That can't be good. Do you think they're signaling for more to come?

Ervin

Either that or they can smell our blood and it's driving them into a frenzy.

Rooney

Well, we're going to die here obviously.

Ervin

We just have to hold out until daylight Rooney, Randall what time is it.

Randall

2am. It's about 4 hours until daybreak.

Rooney

4 Hours? I think we can make it.

SLAM! The door is hit hard, Rooney flies across the room. Another smash and the door gives way. Several vampires enter the doorway.

Ervin tosses Rooney a piece of wood for a weapon. Just then the window barricade smashes apart and Randall is pulled outside.

Ervin

GO SAVE RANDALL!

Rooney

He's already DEAD!

Ervin

GO!!!!!!

Rooney springs out the window. Ervin backs up as 5 vampires stalk him like a pack of wolves.

Fart

fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart no one's reading this fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart.

Also, page 3.


Continuted...

SMASH. A pack of vampires break through the window barricade. One vampire springs into the room.

Randall

The WINDOW!

Randall looks across to see a couple more vampires making their way through the window and springs up to re-enforce the window barricade, pressing his body against the old shelves tipped over against the window keeping out the invading vampires.

The vampire in the room lets out a frightening hiss. Rooney jumps up to stand beside Ervin. At the door a hand pokes through the opening, the vampires threaten to break through in a second, Rooney jumps back to the door and seals it. Ervin on his own has to deal with the vampire.


The vampire pounces on him, Ervin has a death grip on it around it's throat and he's pushing it away from his body; keeping it's fangs just out of reach of his jugular. Rooney and Randall are both spending every bit of their focus keeping the rest of the monsters outside.


Ervin reverses the position with the vampire, he's on top and he begins to ground-and-pound it. The vampire takes a beating but it's incredibly resilient, he screeches at Ervin and mule kicks him across the room. Ervin is slow to get up, in the background we see the vampire pounce at him once again.

Ervin spins around and catches the vamp underneath the armpit and around the head and 'Rock Bottom's him through a nearby table.

The table shatters and Ervin grabs a broken fragment. He reaches to the sky and as the vampire roars he strikes down and stabs it in the heart. The vampire starts to glow.

Randall

You did it! He's going to turn into dust now.

Pop. The vampire explodes and his entrails cover the room and all 3 men.

All three men take a beat to spit vampire bits out of their mouths.
