It's #SecondPageSaturday... cuz I said so...

I posted Page One of "JACK BURTON: MONSTER HUNTER" yesterday.

Oh nothing, it's just a sequel to Big Trouble in Little China.

Here's Page Two. Jack's a few decades older, but he's still dishing out sound advice and grinding all the gears!

her hands
in surrender. Julia is covered in sweat,
blood. Erin observes the young woman as she carefullyame and
approaches her,

ground at Julia's feet.

you're going to take
a midnight
stroll,
you need to watch where
you're going.
Moonlight reflects off a sliver of metal in the grass. A trap.

Who are you running from?
JULIA
(panicked whispering)
Please! You need to need to listen
to me. We need to get out of here right now, we can't stay here, it's not safe--
A HOWL cuts through
the melodious music of the night,
trailing
off into
strange,
alien
trill
that raises
goosebumps on Erin's skin.
Her head whips
to the tree line,
scanning for movement as she grips her rifle.
ERIN
I don't need to do shit.
Who are
you running from? You with that
church?
JULIA
(laughing
It's
bitterly)
not a church.
It's
much,
much, worse.

For #SecondPageSaturday, here’s something from “Paranormal Preparatory School”, adapted from my game of the same name. Caitria, the protagonist, was an invention purely for the script, but I love the opportunity to write a character with a lot of inner fury.

One of my favourite gags ever from “Homecoming”, our horror comedy. Chatty Villager and Stern Villager ended up appearing in the script more than we planned, and I cannot wait to watch their scenes get filmed.
