Scene 1
\n[scene: a cramped corner space with a small cluttered desk and two computers]<\/p>\n
[camera starts tight on a grubby white keyboard and pulls back to reveal disheveled middle-aged man staring at keyboard]<\/p>\n
Man: Fuck.<\/p>\n
[Man’s eyes scan one of the screens as a computer game flashes by on the other. He distractedly hits a few keys on the keyboard partially hidden under food wrappers and pieces of crumpled paper]<\/p>\n
[He rocks back in his seat and rubs his eyes]<\/p>\n
Man: Fuck.<\/p>\n
[Fade out]<\/p>\n
Scene 2
\n[scene: a meticulous, Martha Stewartesque living room with an antique writing table in the corner and a small, expensive-looking laptop]<\/p>\n
[camera enters from the hallway and discovers a young woman whose dress looks at odds with the style and neatness of the room sitting on a beautiful carved chair and staring down at the small screen on the laptop]<\/p>\n
Woman: Still nothing. What’s taking him? He’s already a day late. [long pause]<\/p>\n
Woman: Maybe he’s ill? Rancid oil? Bad pork?<\/p>\n
[she sits back in her chair and stares sullenly at the screen]<\/p>\n
[fade to split screen showing both man and woman from reverse angles, similar looks of desperation on their faces.]<\/p>\n
Scene 3
\n[CGI-generated bright, overpowering light appears, becoming brighter and brighter engulfing the two characters.]<\/p>\n
Scene 4
\n[outside a couple of townhouses]<\/p>\n
[the light grows and grows and the cameras zoom into the second-floor windows cutting back and forth from Man to Woman until they simultaneously explode in a moment of self-generated spontaneous combustion, thereby cheating society’s attempt to immolate them in the nuclear holocaust cause by its uncaring and self-absorbed system of laws and morals]<\/p>\n
[Fade to black]<\/p>\n
