Selma and Daniel are both having sex in bed. This is a continuation of the dream sequence induced by whatever drug the government has placed in Selma’s water.

Selma- Talk to me.

Daniel- You don’t know how hard I get thinking about you at work. It distracts me but, I don’t mind it… you’re the only one that can get me that excited.

Selma- What do you think about?

Daniel- How we are now. You riding me and showing me your beautiful body.

Selma looks down at Daniel in a domineering demeanor.

(Side Note: Domineering means dominance but in an arrogant manner)

Selma- You look good beneath me…

Daniel is looking up at her in a with a look of pure ecstasy as she begins to ride him a little harder. He reaches up to grab her left breast and begins to fondle her nipple with his thumb. Daniel uses his left hand to grab Selma from the waist and slowly lets his hand ride down her waist down to her ass.

Selma- Say you love me…

Selma puts her hands on Daniel’s chest and adjust her weight. She stops moving to get an answer out of Daniel.

Daniel- I love you Selma Babel.

Selma just looks down at him but instead of a domineering manner, her expression changes to one of happiness.

Selma- Daniel… you don’t know how worried I was. I thought I was never going to see you again.

Daniel- It’s ok Baby, I’m here now.

Selma is still on top but instead of sitting upwards she lays down on top of Daniel in an attempt to hug him while they have sex. Daniel hugs her while he continues the rhythm with his hips.

Daniel- I won’t let anything happen to the woman I love.

Selma- Please be with me forever.

Daniel- I don’t want to be anywhere else.

They begin to kiss in that position while Daniel begins to pick up the pace. As Selma starts to cum.

(Side Note: Selma isn’t visually shown to cum because I want the to scene the show the unsatisfying nature of Selma’s sexuality. While she does want it psychically, mentally she is more concerned with being loved as opposed to sexual satisfaction. However, in this dream sequence, she climaxes but it is short lived.)

The scene is suddenly changed to them laying down on their sides spooning facing the sliding door.

In a way, it is a constant fluctuation for Selma’s mentality to be loved but also to guard herself from being emotionally hurt, so there is constant want to have control of the situation but in reality she really is not in charge of her own life due to a number of a reasons.

Selma is seen laying down in Daniel arms, sleeping. Selma is holding to Daniel’s arm while they both sleep.

NEXT DAY

Selma wakes up in the bed with Daniel early in the morning, Daniel is still asleep. She can see out through the window that the sun is barely rising. She takes in the moment while being in the arms of her lover. Selma whispers to herself.

Selma- Do I really deserve this?

Her whisper wakes up Daniel.

Daniel- You deserve everything that comes your way.

Selma turns away from the window to look at Daniel. She looks at Daniel with eyes that are reminiscent of a young innocent Selma.

Selma- You think so?

Daniel- Yes, why do you even ask?

Selma- Sometimes… it feels like I’m not allowed certain moments like this. Moments where I feel the most happiest.

Daniel- Allowed? Who controls your happiness?

Selma pauses to think about her feelings

Selma- I haven’t really thought about it… but I know I’m not, I never was in control of my own life.

Selma looks away from Daniel, by turning away and looking out the window.

Selma- All throughout my life… Whenever I would feel like my life is perfect, like only good things were happening to me, it always felt like someone was going to come along and take it all away from me.

Daniel doesn’t say anything, instead he tries to understand Selma and tries to comfort her by holding her a little tighter.

Selma- So since I was young, I would purposely avoid people because I know that they’d ultimately leave me disappointed… with myself.

Selma sighs at the prospect.

Selma- I was so afraid that I started to become bitter or actually, angry… I was angry at people for the way they were but I know it was wrong of me to think that way.

I always knew.

Selma turns around to look at Daniel.

Selma- It only got worse when I became a young adult… when I actually had to search for a partner. At that point… everyone and everything was my enemy.

Selma buries her face in Daniel’s chest.

Daniel- Do you still think that way?

Selma- No… I try not to. It gets difficult to be positive all the time though. But when I was being “encouraged” by my family and the government to find a partner, I hated

being alive.

Daniel-…

Selma looks up from his chest.

Selma- That’s not true, I didn’t hate being alive. I just hated that things were the way they were.

Daniel- Aren’t you glad that period of your life is over?

Selma- Yeah I am…

Daniel strokes Selma’s hair.

Selma- and I’m happy that I picked the right partner.

Daniel- You think so?

Selma- I think so.

Daniel- I think I picked the right partner too.

Selma looks up at Daniel and tells him.

Selma- There’s no one I can want more in this world besides you.

Daniel- I love you.

Selma kisses Daniel on the lips.

Selma- I love you too.

They hug one last time. Then a loud bang is heard on their front door. They stay motionless for a moment then Daniel stands ups.

Daniel- Now, who in the fuck can that be…

As Daniel gets up to put on some pants, he peeks out his bedroom door and see’s that front door is being kicked down and a bullet flies by his head. He closes his bedroom door. Selma freaks out and throws herself on the floor.

Daniel walks over to their bed and flips over the mattress. We see that underneath the mattress he has an arsenal of government labeled rifles.

(Side note: The government sanction rifles are just old-fashioned bolt-action rifles that, a M1903 Springfield should be the main point of reference.)

He has about 3 rifles and a single revolver. He hands a rifle to Selma.

Selma- What am I suppose to do with this?

Daniel- To shoot yourself? What do you think? We are going to show those motherfuckers what for!

Selma- We can’t fight the peace keepers, We’ll get killed immediately!

Daniel ignores Selma

Daniel- You got 5 rounds in that cart. If I don’t come back make sure your shots count.

Selma- Wait, I never actually had to shoot at anyone before. I’m not ready to kill again.

Daniel- Don’t think of them as people! Remember what they did to your brother!

Selma begins to tear up.

Selma- Daniel… Please…

Daniel- I won’t let them do anything to you, just use if you have to. I am going to go fight them myself!

Selma- What the fuck do you mean! Please do go out there, You’ll just die! Let’s just surrender!

Daniel just looks at her without saying anything.

Daniel turns away and faces the door and says to Selma.

Daniel- I’ll be right back.

Selma- Daniel no!

Daniel unlocks the bedroom door and charges out the door and what is followed is the sounds of gunfire. Selma is afraid but props herself against the bed frame and points her rifle at the door way.

As she is pointing the rifle at the doorway, a man screaming is followed by a bullet shot then a generous spray of blood is stained on the doorway which scares selma for a brief second causing her to drop her gun. But she quickly picks up the gun and continues her post of aiming the gun. Selma just hears the sound of bullet fire and random vulgar language of the peacekeepers yelling fuck and shit and all sorts of words.

Finally the sounds have ended but Selma is still pointing the rifle at the doorway she assumes that Daniel was killed and the peace keepers are coming for her next. She has a shaking aim out of fear.

She see’s someone coming to the door and Selma fires a shot at the person.

Daniel- Watch where you shooting that fucking thing.

Selma drops the gun and runs to Daniel to hug him.

Daniel- Pick up that rifle we have to get out here as fast as we can. They know everything about us.

Selma- Where would we go?

Daniel- We gotta go outside, We have to go outside to the Remnant.

Daniel grabs Selma’s hand leads her through the house to outside. Selma sees the battle that took place in her house including the 5 dead bodies. (One laying down in front of the bedroom door. The person that was killed and had his blood spilled on the bedroom door. He died of a gunshot to the chest.) One is sitting up right holding on to his stomach, he is by the front door. As Selma and Daniel are heading to the front door he waves at Selma. Out of breath he calls out for help to Selma.

Injured PeaceKeeper- Please you have to help me!

The IPK raises his bloody hand to Selma. The IPK is bleeding all over the floor.

IPK- Please… Please, I just want to go home.

The IPK arm slumps over to his side as a tear rolls down his right eye cheek. He closes his eye and stops breathing. Selma just looks at him with an indifferent look, She is sad but she is also mad at his audacity for storming into her home trying to kill her. She can’t help but to pity him in a glance. The last frame is Selma’s face to the IPK.

SOME MONTHS LATER…

Selma is in a little shanty town outside of the remnant. She is now living in a little house made out of random junk that is found. Daniel comes into the little house through a curtain that is suppose to be a door.

Daniel appears to be more musty looking, he starting to grow a beard but it looks like stubble and Selma has a bigger baby bump she looks like she’s ready to give birth any time.

Daniel- That fat bastard took all fucking day to get us our rations!

Selma- Who?

Daniel- That fat piece of fucking shit Murdoch! I waited all day in line and his fat ass had the gull to say that they were out of food for the day… I know that asshole is probably eating all the fucking food before he gives it out in the market, that’s why he’s so goddamn fat.

Selma- So you didn’t get any food?

Daniel looks annoyed that Selma asked that question.

Daniel- No Selma, I didn’t get any food… all I got was water again.

Selma- It’s ok baby, I think we have some carrots left. We’ll just eat soup like we did yesterday.

Daniel makes a face of disgust, they probably had soup the last week.

Daniel- We can’t eat that again, its bad for our bodies. We’ll be shitting water all week.

Selma- Can you cook?

Daniel- …No.

Selma- Do you have any other Ideas?

Daniel- No.

Selma- Then shut up, we’re eating soup.

Daniel- Oh wait, actually. I did get you a little surprise.

Selma looks at Daniel with anticipation and Daniel takes out a little bag of coffee grounds out of his pocket.

Selma- Coffee grounds? I thought they stop giving those out but why did you get me that? I thought you said I wasn’t allowed to drink coffee anymore.

Daniel- I know I use to tell you that but I wanted to make some for you as a treat.

Selma blushes and immediately has a face of excitement. She grabs Daniel hand to put it on her baby bump.

Daniel- Is the baby begging me to not give you any coffee?

Selma- No I think it’s excited.

Selma smiles.

Daniel- I doubt that.

Daniel smiles.

Daniel- By the way, how close are we to having him?

Selma- It can be any day now.

Daniel- So I know we’ve decided on a name before but I thought about this name I liked and I wanted to get your opinion on it.

Selma- What is it?

Daniel- Ok, don’t make fun of me but it’s…

As Daniel is saying the name, Selma’s hearing get’s fuzzy and she can’t hear Daniel. Then a bright flash of white engulfs everything around her.
