8. “I Can’t Live Without You…”

8. “I Can’t Live Without You…”

Sep 04, 2020

When they finally get to the front porch of selma’s house. They hug each other.

Selma- Bye.

Daniel- Bye, Selma.

Selma walks to the front door and waves before closing the door.

Daniel- Wait!

Selma- What?

Daniel- I would like to see you again.

Then the perspective changes to them two sitting down in their kitchen table.

Selma is smiling while she is looking at Daniel.

Selma- You sound more charming when you tell the story.

Daniel- You think?

Selma- Yes, When I try to remember, all I can think was how much an Idiot you were.

Daniel laughs at Selma’s comment.

Daniel- Yeah it was a pretty dumb thing to do but… it made you fall in love with me so I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Selma chuckles but Daniel just looks at her with a stare of love.

Daniel looks at his wrist watch.

Daniel- Shit! I spent my whole breakfast telling the story. I have to go!

Selma- Oh ok, hold on, here’s your lunch.

Daniel- Thank you sweetheart.

Selma hands him his pail of food.

Daniel- Alright, off I go. I'll see you later.

Selma- Ok bye… have a good day.

Daniel- I love you, bye.

Daniel closes the door before selma can say bye.

Selma- Bye…

Selma has an expression, in the first time in a while, that she’ll miss Daniel while he is away at work.

Selma is then seen talking on the phone.

Selma- Hey.

She smiles

Selma- What are you doing today? Oh ok. I was going to ask if I can come over?

Ok great Ill be there in a bit then. Yeah. Ok. Bye.

She is then on a bus riding pass the citadel, it hasn’t begun raining yet. The weather isn’t that bad either.

While on her trip she encounters a high school that has ended for the day and she sees the young people walking. Some of the students are walking hand in hand but she also sees some stranglers walking by themselves.

She smiles at seeing them. It’s reminds her of her and Daniel when they were in school together.

She sees a young person dancing on the corner of an intersection. He’s one of those people that get payed to dance and throw around a sign for a business. His business sign reads “EYED: Romance Counselors”

The bus pulls up to a stop a light and Selma sees a group of evangelists preaching about that certain day’s teaching through a megaphone.

Eva- The creation of a perfect world is forbidden for man but with the guidance of The Voice, his children will be able to ascend from a world submerged in filth! He promises salvation to those that remain dedicated despite of the never-ending struggle that is the human experience! Those who goes against the nature of man and pollute the good morals of his children shall be cleansed of their wicked ways through separation of the heart and mind! The heart is pure but to hold the mind is our punishment! True freedom is to relief yourself of thought and live only for The Voice!

She finally arrives at her mother’s house.

Selma knocks on the door.

The door opens and her mom.

Mom- Selma!

Her mom has her hand opens to give her a hug like she hasn’t seen Selma in a long time.

Selma- Hey mom.

Selma smiles.

Selma Walsh is quietly watching the execution of an old friend on live television. She watches, as he is solemnly escorted onto the guillotine with many bystanders cheering and berating him for a false accusation.

Follow Selma's transition from child to Woman in this unforgiving tale of violence and innocence. In the end, what does it all mean...

This is an upcoming comic but since we are both college students, I will just be uploading the script daily since it is complete.
