INT – CORRIDOR – NIGHT
The elevator opens to a corridor. He turns around
carefully. He hears some scurrying in the corner and
listens in that general direction.
INT – CLOSE UP – NIGHT
A rat snuffles around in the corner. It finds a small bit
of cheese and nibbles on it.
INT – CLOSE UP – FREIGHT’S FACE
Freight finally sees what it is and is rather
disgusted. Then his face slowly becomes resolute.
INT – CLOSE UP – RAT
Rat continues to nibble, blissfully unawares.
INT – CORRIDOR –
Freight slowly sneaks up on the rat.
INT- CLOSE UP – RAT
Rat looks up, concerned.
INT – CLOSE UP – FREIGHT
Freight smiles maniacally.
INT – CORRIDOR – NIGHT
Freight draws his blaster. He points it at the rat and
shoots it several times, reducing the rat to a crispy
critter. He picks up the rat, most of which is now
ash. Freight cries in frustration, pounding his hand into
the wall; one of which has a sharp spike in it. Freight
injures his hand.

[Fairy Tale] Elowyn Wisp - Part 7 - The End
You can learn of the rules here.
On and on the man flew until at last he returned to the great crystal gazeebo where Elowyn had been lain before. She was unconcious, and looked extremely pale. Taking the earth from outside of the farm and mixing it with the earth here in this otherworldly realm, he planted Elowyn down on top of it.
At first nothing happened, and the Man cried all night and all of the birds and beasts cried as well. But then the sun began to arise and it shone through the wondrous crystals of the gazebo and made a fire and a light in a sea of shimmering sunshine. The clouds drifted away, and the orange and reds of dawn slowly gave way to a perfectly lovely blue sky.
And Elowyn fluttered her eyelids and she took a deep breath. "Oh my, I feel much better!"
The man wept for joy and everyone celebrated.
Elowyn smiled as her father had saved her. "Now you can live here forever with me."
And so he did. And they had a magnificent feast every day and heard stories of all the world over and rested and knew peace forever more, and Elowyn was always healthy and shining and bright and always remembered how her father had saved her and as a result was even kinder than she otherwise would have been to every living thing and thus her realm became a sanctuary for all that was good and holy forevermore.
The end.

in a hyper user friendly interface which bears no
resemblance to that of a video game whatsoever. The health
bar shows 60%. Freight searches through the cargo hold and
finds loads of socks. The health bar shows at 50%. Freight
lies down on the floor, unable to move. The Health bar
shows 40%.
Freight has grown a beard and mustache. He also has lost
weight. He gurgles with frustration at a full cooked meal
that looks absolutely delicious and knocks it off of the
table and howls at the Creator with frustration. He takes
the plate (which is unbreakable) and bangs it on the side of
the creator several times.
He looks distraught and desperate.
SCENE 6 - INT – NIGHT - SHIPS CONTROL ROOM
Freight lies back inside of the Ship’s control room, trying
various setting without much use. He changes channels
slowly, trying to get a result. As he flips through the
channels, he eventually gets a result, a small haze of red
that appears on the screen but is pretty small.
FREIGHT
What the hell was that?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Unknown.
FREIGHT
Can’t you do better than that?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Unknown life form.
FREIGHT
Good. (beat) Very good.
He smiles widely. This is the best news that he has had in
a while. He moves towards the elevator and presses the
button.
INT – ELEVATOR – NIGHT
Freight rubs his hands together and cackle Wylie E Coyote
style.

Flying Fusion Fortress
In my world, there is a bit of an urban legend that there is a flying bomber with a fusion power plant. It's a curious rumor, because it ascribes both great competence and complete incompetence at the same time. There are many rumors, but the most reliable one is that the famed water powered car was actually a form of cold fusion that was immediately confiscated by the government to keep the economy from going berserk, but it was still apparently appropriated for many interesting government projects. Supposedly flying saucers really use the fusion engine found from this car, rather than Roswell or other reverse engineered alien technology.
But at the same time, hundreds of billions of dollars have been sunk into "Project Patience" which is often nicknamed "Project Pitiful." The planes were supposed to be able to fire lasers into Soviet air space causing targets to be destroyed untracably. Eventually, they were also supposed to be able to destroy enemy missiles or counter the Soviet Orbital Attitude Control Lasers.
But no one has ever seen it in action. There were all kinds of rumors about it being used in Jade Spear and Magic Helmet, in fact some people believe that it had a critical element of turning this war against the Republic of Texas....but leaked documents also show that it doesn't actually work. More rumors speak of a small renegade group of rogue scientists that actually have an operational version of the spy plane, but they won't share the details on how to replicate it with the contractor.
But who knows? Still, even if it actually works, it is the most expensive weapons platform in history. And I can't help but wonder...wouldn't forty years be enough time to figure out how to make something like fusion work for the economy? Or are some people so obsessed with their secrets that they insist on keeping things the way they want to be.
Every time I look over the wasteland that is East Texas, I have to wonder if war is really worth it. Still, better here than exported around the world I suppose....

FREIGHT
You’re joking.
SHIP’S COMPUTER
I am not programmed to joke.
FREIGHT
Now that was a joke.
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Yes.
FREIGHT
Well, it was a funny joke. So how
do I solve this problem?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Eat.
For a moment Freight looks like he is going to hit the
computer. He picks up a wrench and then thinks better of
it. He knows it isn’t a true AI.
FREIGHT
I mean what?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Eat food.
FREIGHT
Right. Duh. Alright. Thanks
computer.
SHIP’S COMPUTER
You are welcome. Thank you for
thanking me.
FRIEGHT
Don’t even start that again. Shut
up.
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Shutting up sir.
SCENE 5 - INT – DAY - ALL OVER THE SHIP
Third montage. Freight searches the ship for food. He
keeps finding none. Cut to a medical chart that shows his
body’s condition getting worse as a finite percentage of
health. The scene starts with him looking in the quarters
of the rich people he searched before. There is a tiny
readout in the corner of the screen which shows a health bar
