Inspired by life's ebb and flow...

Here lies a little something that we came up with last week at work. I think I want to script it and try to think about deciding to want to film it. In the interim, here is the lazy version.

So, this high school aged guy is at a party hanging out with his buddies. He finishes his pabst blue ribbon, squeezes the empty can between his thumb and fingers and sets it down on the mantle. Then he gestures to the homies that its time to bounce.

"well, guys, i guess ima make like a baby and head out."
"alright man, well, we still on for having that party after prom?"
"Yeah, man, that shouldnt be a problem."
"Rightious!"

So the dude gets in his car and heads towards home. As hes driving down a particularly dark and desolate road, with fog and all that scary stuff, he hears a thud and thinks he may have hit something. He gets out to investigate closer to find a lady lying under his front bumper. She is very angelic looking but only has one arm and has a pretty substantial scar across her very ghostlike face.

"Holy shit! Are you alright?"
"You hit me!
"Holy shit! Im so sorry!"
"You fuckin hit me!
"Geez. Im sorry! Can I help you or get you something or take you to a hospital?"
"Well, you coud offer me a ride home"
"Fair enough. You live around here?"
"I havent lived around here in awhile"
"well, at any rate, get in"

She didnt speak much and seemed quite distant but the young man was able to find out that she was about ten years his elder and lived only about two blocks from where he hit her. They discussed music briefly and agreed that music today isnt nearly as good as it was ten years ago. So he pulls up and she goes inside, uneventfully and he drives away. He calls his buddy from the party and explains excitedly that he has found a girl to invite to prom. She is older but he thinks she is the most beautiful girl ever and he plans to ask her to prom. When he hangs up with his buddy, he throws his phone onto his passenger seat and sees that the girl he had hit with his car just a half hour before had left her sweater in the car. He figures this his a golden opportunity to ask her to prom so he returns to her house. He knocks on the door and an old lady answers the door.
"Is Heather home? she left her sweater in my car when i gave her a ride earlier"
"Heather? Oh dear... She died five years ago... tonight"
"oh wow, are you serious? damn. Well, what are you doing next saturday night?"
They stare at one another smiling intently. Cut to the final scene, the high school guy and the old lady are dancing together at his prom.

end credits.

after the credits roll, there is a short scene of the old lady and high school kid in bed together, smoking cigarettes. "bon chicka wow wow."

Fin.
