Looking Like That Actor Who Played Satan Has Its Perks
So like, the other day, people stopped me on the street and said, "Excuse me, may I sell my soul to you?"
"....What?"
"Well, I've felt that my life has very little meaning, so I would like to improve it by placing a second mortgage on my soul."
"....OK?"
"So that's a yes?"
"Sure."
"Wonderful! I'd like a pony."
"An actual pony?"
"Yes please."
"Alright."
"Really?"
I nod, "Sure." There is a pause, "But you do know I have to make it look coincidental right? Don't want God to get suspicious or anything."
"Oh sure."
"It'll come. In the mean time, enjoy the fringe benefits."
"Fringe benefits?"
"Oh you know, better food, better air, better sex."
"Really?"
"Oh yes. Absolutely."
"Wow, thanks Satan."
"No problem."

[Script] Hot Tin Lizzie Goes Up and Out - Page 3
Scene: Lizzie takes the cat in her hands and walks into an abandon compound, filled with half repaired or broken machines and cars.
Scene: Lizzie walks up to a house in the middle of the compound, opening the screen door and trying to be as quiet as she can. She looks around carefully, and then slowly closes it behind her.
Scene: She enters through the kitchen and turns right down a hall full of pictures of the family smiling, several generations including several people in modern clothing though most of the recent ones show people in more and more stark clothing.
Scene: She comes into a room with her father who is snoring and sitting in a chair with TV shows from the 1950's playing in the background.
Lizzie: Dad?
(beat)
Lizzie: (Louder) DAD?
