The Burning Wasteland - WiP
The Burning Wasteland
Memories erased, smashed upon this desert floor
How much did you do? How far did it go? You
Never said. But now is too late, for you have ended
Like so many others before you. A chill tickles gently
As the winds hasten. The sand brought with it dries your tears
Crusts your cheeks, and hides the blood
An irrevocable deed done, pure evil resonates, carries
On the breeze, to distant lands never known by you
Or I
A hidden place, somewhere between here and there
We are unable to see them, but they can see us. Judge us
It's not
EXT. STREET. DAY.
Two men standing by a car. One man mid-fifties, the other younger, maybe early twenties. Older man inspects the car. They aren't related. They stare at each other.
MAN
Got a decent radio there son?
BOY
Yeah. The bass is good.
MAN
Haw-haw-haw!
The man laughs loud and hard. The boy never breaks eye contact.
I know it's there, always on the edge of my vision. It's been there for a while, sitting in the corner, watching me. And when my back is turned, it creeps up close behind, causing a spasm of fear to slither down my spine; a burst of adrenaline explodes through my body, making my legs propel me forward, into the light. See, it can't stand the light. Well, I say that, when what I mean is, it can't enter the light, any light. It can watch me though, when I'm in it. It will hang just outside of my peripherals, waiting for the light to go out, patiently tormenting me, and depriving me of sleep

Who's going to fix that? Are you?
Fix it will you. Fix it. Fix it. Fix't.
It's not broken, don't you worry.
Dirty little girl aren't you, rolling and rolling.
Burn or pierce? Same trip either way. Dirty little trip.
Turning your fingers. Cased in your blackened, bitten nails.
You're filthy. Hiding in the backstreets, sucking deep.
A small white puff from your lips, blowing hard. Just filthy.
Round and around and around and around.
Spewing and spilling, tilting luminescence of fortuitous revel.
A spiralling fall or a swirling raise? Filthy.
Just filthy.
So I sit in the shadowed undergrowth pulli
It was early in the morning when I first heard about it. I turned the T.V on and saw the breaking news story about a highly infectious virus spreading north that had leaked from some undisclosed location near the centre on London. At first I was worried, but thought it was nothing worse than Swine Flu or something similar. It was only when the morning news progressed, as I sat in my pants eating a bowl of cornflakes that I realised just how serious the virus had become. Flashes of bodies and blood and carnage flicked across the screen, before stopping at footage of a blood-drenched man running at a
So here I am, sitting on the soiled mattress of some cheap motel along the motorway. The dull blue hum from the neon signs makes my eyes sting, but I don't have it in me to get up and close the blinds. So I sit, for hours doing nothing, just letting time pass me by. Eventually I get up and check myself out in the dirty cracked mirror, stepping over the questionable stains in the carpet, trying to keep my good work shoes from getting dirty. Heck, why does that matter now that I'm here? Nothing matters anymore.
I look in that mirror, back at the poor sap in his beige shirt and matching chinos. God I hate my job, what a complete waste of
So, my work has been published. S'pretty cool. Nothing major, only the Uni writers' mag which is free, but still, it counts and will look good when I try and get other works out there and stuff.

So I've been incredibly naughty and got my hands on a copy of the script for the film Predators, which is to be released in early July. Well I say I got my hands on a copy, which suggests a hard copy, but no, it happened to cross my path whilst looking about in the interwebs. It might not be the actual script, but wouldn't have even written this a joke. I had read the plot outline already, and I knew I would be severely disappointed by the movie, so I thought, Hey, why not?
All I can say is, RUIN. The storyline is so lame, almost as lame as Avatar's. The p
