Sitting here, wearing a luchador mask

Contemplating a few new scripts. Sounds intriguing? It isn't. Not at all. It's actually a complete annoyance that drives me bonkers, but hell, I guess that's how you know you're a writer and not some loon from the bin.

I have one idea for a short film, just came to me this moment as I was typing this. With these constant toothaches I've been having the past week or so, wouldn't it be sickening and fascination to have a man in a room, just minding his own business, eating some caramel. Or some rock candy. Chewing down hard on those suckers when suddenly, crack! A sound and sonic boom occurs through the man's body and you know with an extreme close up of one of his teeth that it's been cracked in half from the candy.

Pain starts to shoot up to his head and down his spine and he doesn't know what to do because of it. He tries some anbersol. It doesn't work. Tries some aspirin, any type of pain killer in the house that he has. Still doesn't work. Tries to drown the pain by rinsing his mouth out with whiskey. Still does not do anything for the man.

He spies a pair of pliers from across the room. He laughs at the very notion of using them. He calls his dentist, sorry, no answer. It is a sunday and dentists are closed those days. He contemplates some more. He can last the day, can't he? The clock ticks. He starts to sweat. Those pliers are only a few feet away, and hell, it won't be that bad. The pain can't be worse than what he's feeling now. He gets up, grabs those pliers, goes to the bathroom. Lights out. Scream. Maybe we'll show the tooth being pulled. Probably not, considering that gore effect is actually pretty pricey.

Cut back to him sitting in his chair, with a wad of bandages in his mouth, red from the blood. Cracked tooth with the pliers are on the table. He smiles and inserts another piece of candy in his mouth. We hear another crack.

Roll credits.

The End.

Yes, I know. A bit too much. But that could be a very effective 3 to 5 minute movie. Better than those On the Lot folks.

At least I think so.
