Homework
This is an assignment I wrote for in my scriptwriting/storyboarding class. I was given 2 characters that another person in my class made up and a situation to write about.
Character 1: An unhappy OCD housewife who spends most of her time worrying about her children.
Character 2: A young Mexican-American female who works in a cafe to make ends meet.
Situation: A convenience store is held up by a gunman.
The bell goes off in door way and Merissa stumbled into the convenience store juggling a handbag a diaper bag, and a cell phone. She hung up the phone pushing the end button exactly six times, and let go of the door. Rosa sped up towards the closing door outside and reached out to catch it but missed. She opened the door and stepped in. Rosa headed toward the candy aisle and turned the corner. She dragged her finger across the price tags picking a chewing gum. Rosa turned her eyes just above the tops of the candy aisle and over to the register to Merissa. She glanced at Merissa as Merissa tapped each of her fingers six times on the convenience store counter top. Rosa squint her eyes and looked closer. Merissa and the clerk were arguing and it had begun to get heated. Rosa made her way towards the front of the store and that was when she really got a look at Merissa. Merissa was very well kept especially for her age. Rosa admired her light clean skin and the creases in her work pants. She was staring when she heard a click in the background, things went black. Merissa turned around to face the perpetrator he looked back at her and lifted his gun from a young Mexican-American women’s back. She watched the woman fall to the floor in her dirty café apron and name tag.
“Give me your fucking purse.” The man said

I like the imagery in my head when I read this, I was really able to see it. It’s pretty awesome but with some refining it could be even better. =D

Thank you I’ve read some of your stuff from my phone internet but I haven’t really had the chance to get to look at it all it is way more refined than mine though I think I’m just scatter brained. It’s nice to hear some feedback on my writing finally after all these years of no one being my friend on livejournal…

I don’t know anything about that but if its true, the its for the better, maybe he made a life changing decision (like moving out of his parents basement)
