FADE IN

DIALOGUE OVER BLACK

ME
Should I really go public?
What if nobody likes it?
What if it gets ignored?
I don’t know if I can stomach
that kind of rejection.

BIZARRO ME
Oh, for the love of Thanos!
Who are you? George McFly?!
Just post it, you wuss!

ME
Is this thing the next
Walking Dead
or cat box liner?

BIZARRO ME
That’s not for you to decide.

ME
But these people are real writers.
Mine is just pictures with word bubbles.

BIZARRO ME
Yeah, right. Whatever.
Tell ya what, Commander Data.
If you get one like,
I’ll make you a real boy.
Now Man Up!

ME
(sigh)

TYLER DURDEN
(faint echo)
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
that we’re free to anything.
