So I was texting a friend last night and in the midst of making things up wrote a PSA. It’s funny how much easier it is to write just off the cuff while being silly.
I might use it in my film class this year. Don’t you use it unless you ask. And give a nod to Ford, Sturges and Hawkes.
PSA
He swaggers in, lights a cigar, smokes it through the slit in his mask orders a shot of rye whiskey.
“Hey stranger, we don’t hold with masks here.”
The stranger turns, one hand on the six gun the other pointed at the local, “You will get back 6 feet” and he squares off.
“What’s your name, stranger”
The man hitched his hip, “it’s a long name, a foreign name. I won’t be here long enough to teach it to you. You might remember my nickname.”
“Call me Covid.”
And with that, he pulled a long draw on the cigar, slipped his mask off and blew smoke long and hard through the room.
“See you around, boys. Give my friend Reaper my best when you see him.”
