In the end

A dream is all we had

By Nico

Come brother, stand here, right here beside me

As we join an everlasting fight, that sees no end.

Hiding among the flowers, his mother rises from

Prayer begging him. “Jordi, I see no end also,

Don’t fight like fools and parish in the dust, which

I know very well.” Puts one finger to his mouth,

And silently whispers to his mother. “Mama, for

Your prayer is for a weak man, who will parish anyway. Grabbing her

Hand and looks deeply into her eyes. “For I am not a fool, dear

Mama, I am just a man of equality and righteousness and I deserve

Dreams, and not the ones that were prescribed to me previously.” Slow

Tears, swallow into her cheeks as Jordi’s brother rises also. “If you shall go,

I just pray, I see your face among the dust before your pleasant dreams turn

To nightmares.” As she turns away he steps closer and says, “Fear mama,

Will eat at your soul, until you choke upon its grasp, if dust settles

And my face is not among the ones you recognize, then pray for your own

Dreams because I have realized mine.”

               EXT. DOOR STEP-NIGHT

               Javel stands at her door, dressed in a black tuxedo holding
               one red rose in his right hand. Nervous he rings the door bell
               and awaits for her answer.

               The door opens..

                                   HER
                         Javel what are you doing here?

               Before she could say another word, Javel moved in closer to
               her and placed a finger to her lips.

                                   JAVEL
                         I came her to tell you how I feel
                         about you or about us really, and
                         before you have a chance to say
                         much of what you said before let me
                         do what I need to do.

               Javel reaches for her hand and places the red rose between her
               fingers and looks deep into her eyes.

                                   JAVEL
                         Summertime remember? firs time I
                         seen you, you were in the farmers
                         market looking over some ripe
                         strawberries. My first glance at
                         you and instantly my heart had
                         taken me away.

               Javel starts to smile

                                   JAVEL
                         I just thought if I go and talk to
                         you, maybe I could take you on a
                         date, movies or something. However,
                         as soon as I walked up to you. You
                         immediately said, "you don't
                         deserve a woman like me." And
                         everyday since then I been thinking
                         you are right, I don't deserve a
                         woman like you but you do deserve a
                         man like me. Your smile enlightens
                         my soul when I look at you. I just
                         can't help my desire for you and
                         the things I want to do for you,
                         maybe no woman has ever seen. You
                         deserve kisses along the back of
                         your neck. You deserve arms wrapped
                         around your waist. You deserve a
                         life of protection, passion, and
                         support. I may not deserve a woman
                         like you but I can't see the rest
                         of my days without you.

                                   
               She smiles back at him, grabs his other hand and leads him
               into her house.

 Fade In:

               INT. OFFICE-DAY

               Two supervisors’ one male and female are sitting behind a big
               black desk, conversing as they await for the applicant to
               enter the room.

               Door opens, enters 30 year old large African American woman
               with long black hair and folder in her hand. As she walks
               towards the two supervisors her hair tosses slowly to the
               right.

                                   MALE SUPERVISOR
                         Well, hello Ms. Lija. My name is
                         Jeffery but you can call me Jeff.
                         Please have a seat, this is Sara,
                         we are both customer service
                         supervisors. Now tell us a little
                         bit about your background.

                                   LIJA
                         Currently I am in college, working
                         on my bachelors of science degree
                         in media design. Also I have worked
                         at two great companies which is
                         where I have gained most of my
                         experience with technology.

               The female supervisor eyes start to flicker as she rocks in
               her chair waiting for the chance to question the applicant.

                                   FEMALE SUPERVISOR
                         It says here, you have done
                         collections, how does that
                         experience work towards the
                         position you applied for?

               Lija readjusts herself in the chair as she starts to think of
               a good answer.

                                   LIJA
                         Well, collections is essentially
                         customer service because I am
                         required to listen to the customer
                         and offer a solution and then
                         precede with action.

               The male supervisor starts to glance at the clock as he rolls
               his pen in between his fingers.

                                   MALE SUPERVISOR
                         Well, just to let you know a little
                         bit about our department, we have a
                         passionate group of employees who
                         are dedicated to our clients needs.
                         We take an enormous fifty to sixty
                         calls a day per rep and the calls
                         can get as complicated as ordering
                         a clients prescription. Do you
                         think this is something you can
                         handle?

                                   LIJA
                         Yes, I know I can handle this level
                         of calls, considering the fact in
                         my old position, I handled over two
                         hundred calls per day.

               The female supervisor eyes keep flickering as Lija tries to
               look away

                                   FEMALE SUPERVISOR
                         Good, what is your area of
                         opportunity?

               Lija, palms start to sweat as she tries to understand the
               question more clearly.

                                   LIJA
                         Well, customer service is my area
                         of opportunity which is something
                         that is needed in my future
                         profession also.

                                   MALE SUPERVISOR
                         I am sorry, Ms. Lija you are not
                         qualified for this position, thank
                         you for coming in.

               Lija, rises up out the chair and shakes each supervisors hand
               as she thanks them for the opportunity. As she approaches the
               door, she places her hand on the knob to open the door, and
               then quickly slams it shut.

                                   LIJA
                         You, know what fuck you both and
                         this job! Its only ten dollars an
                         hour who gives a fuck about this
                         shit! That bitch right there needs
                         to get her fucking eye fixed, I
                         can't tell if she is winking at me
                         or having a fucking seizure.

                                   MALE SUPERVISOR
                         Sara, call the guards this one is
                         out of hand.

                                   LIJA
                         Out of hand? fuck this shit both of
                         you are spineless ass holes, you
                         didn't even give me a chance and
                         then you blew me off. I know you
                         didn't bargain for this outcome but
                         fuck this shit!!!

               Lija, then pulls out two loaded guns and points them at the
               supervisors, they both fall to the floor screaming as lija
               unloads her clip into both their bodies.

                                   LIJA
                         Now, this interview is over. Thanks
                         for your time.
