In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you,

but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”

Feed You To The Horror

Scene ONE

EXTERIOR busy city street, afternoon

ALICE an attractive young woman, a lonely / introverted telepath

ALICE walks down a busy city street.

The people she passes notice her or pretend not to, we see a super-imposition showing their inner thoughts (as ethereal voices) and emotions (indicated by specific colors that show on their faces, throats, chest, and sometimes at the joints and extremities)

MR FRIENDLY an older man walking a dog

(sweetly) “Good afternoon miss”

(redly) “What but I'd love to stick in in you little bitch MmmmMMmm”

MS REEDY a slim teen, smiles

(distractedly) “lalala-lalala-lalala-lalala” (repeating a snippet of popsong)

MRS PLAIN a doddering old woman, smiles in a friendly fashion

(disapprovingly) “ugh, slutty whore!”

etc.....

ALICE arrives and looks around

We see a poster for a meteor-watching party, with an appended note TONIGHT!!! Sign Up

MARSHAL the battle Wiccan

JUDITH the sexy Wiccan

With hours to kill before the peak of the showers the meteor-watchers shoot the shit.

JUDITH plays with a pendulum or other occulty dowsing type item. (lit with joy)

MARSHAL cheers her on (lit with joy & lust)

BRIN watches, smiling.

ALICE watches, smirking, and sneakily watches the others.

The pendulum jerks – JUDITH & MARSHAL take this as a sign of JUDITH's psychic powers, but ALICE has caught a glimpse of X from BRIN... or has she? Could he also be a psi? ALICE scans his face searching for color emoting without result.

EDWINA looks stunned, (lit with fear)

BISCUIT looks up

ALICE “So, what was that? Did you use your psychic powers to move the pendulum? “

JUDITH “It wasn't me. The power moved through me” (lit with joy)

BRIN “From here it looked like she made it move. How this happened, I don't know.”

Suddenly a very large meteor blazes across the sky, making an odd sound and seeming to slow down, then change course to crash very near by. Lights and smoke rise through the trees above a rise just beyond. The campers move warily towards the strange scene. As they do they undergo an effect, look slightly stunned, and (lit with joy)
