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

DESIREE
People like that need to learn lessons. How do you get better? How do you learn if no one shows you better?
CYNTHIA

DESIREE
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
What did she do, Des?
