SNEAK PEEK
Stop by for a snippet of past works or current projects! If you see it below I'm either trying to rework it or it's a new piece under construction. So, take a read and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts. You know, for those 'writer's block' moments.
Title: Unnerving Stains
CYNTHIA
You’re not making sense. (Grabs Desiree’s head with both hands, but in a loving, tender way.) What’s going on in there?
DESIREE
I needed to make it stop.
CYNTHIA

CYNTHIA

You can’t keep being a bully.
CYNTHIA
You’re right…
DESIREE
(The tone is her voice changes the room.) There must be consequences for your actions…
CYNTHIA
