STORY STARTER

Write a scene in which two characters have very different emotions about the same thing.

E.g. One character could be very happy after finding something out, whilst the other is sad about it.

Big Leagues

A black duffel bag, fat full of $100 dollar bills sits plump in the middle of the table. Enough money to change a persons life forever.


Either side of the table sits Charlie and Cameron, they’ve both been childhood friends as long as they can remember. After school club, football practice, school trips, they’ve always had each other no matter the weather. But that’s going to change.


“We’re rich. I mean seriously fucking rich Cam. This changes everything, I mean we never need to worry about…”


“Exaclty”, Cam cuts him off. “Everything is about to change. We’re not just 14 year old boys now Charlie they’re gonna have our faces on tv, strangers outside our house, news vans following us to school. We’ve just lost the rest of our fucking childhood and all you can think about is the money”


“Jesus Christ, we can just pay them to leave us alone, I mean look at us we’re fucking rich…”


Cameron cuts him off again, “No. No we’re not rich. We’ve lost it all. No more football, bike trips to the park, I mean we can’t even go down to Mooneys corner shop now without a fucking swat team of cameras showing up”


“Then we will go abroad”, Charlie says trying to reassure Cameron. “We can go to Hawaii or something, anywhere really!”


“And what leave everything behind”, Cameron says staring at the floor. “I liked my life. I want it back.”
