Title: The Fright Train

The sun peeks through the mountain. Karen and I cruise East on the interstate in a yellow, vintage, Volkswagen beetle. The morning air, blowing through the cracks of the car windows, reminds us how refreshing and vibrant the opportunities ahead of us will be. Everything was pleasant. Everything was lining up. Everything was going in the right direction. In a few moments of clarity, as we approach a crossroad, red blinking chaos focuses in. Four giant blockades abruptly fold down ahead of us. There is no where to turn. No one to help. Just us two young ladies anxiously waiting on a…A FREIGHT TRAIN. The rising sun blinks through the moving train like a strobe light. It continues to rise above, over our heads, and sets behind us. We are hypnotized by the terrifying time lapse. Our heads follow the sun up and down. The train, side to side. The endless, monstrous train continues to pass by. Karen looks at me. Snaps me out of the cycle. Her mouth drops wide open in fear. I react the same when I see her face. We both scream at the top of our lungs. We grab the skin to our own faces, scared and confused. As the train continues, we pull down the overhead mirrors. We scream at ourselves, quickly turn to each other, and scream at each other once more. The freight train has been passing by for 92 years!

There Are Two Types of People In This World: The Snoozers and The Starters

Their eyelids get heavy and close as fast as the night hours fly by. Then, suddenly, ALARMED.

Cue The Snoozer vs. The Starter montage.

MONTAGE

The Snoozer - Slams the “snooze” button instantly. The Starter - The sun shines through the windows, at the perfect degree, waking up “The Starter". She sits up from her pillow, reaches and extends her arms for a first and final stretch to start the day.

The Snoozer - Hits the “snooze” again. Looks out her window but then quickly pulls her blankets over her head. The Starter - Laces up her sneakers, goes on a light jog, ends her workout with a sun salutation, on the balcony, looking out towards the horizon.

The Snoozer - Tosses her phone on the ground and throws her blankets away from her. She clicks the snooze button and heads to the bathroom to look at her reflection. She inspects her hair in disgust and realizes she can’t show up to work with hair this greasy. The Starter - Turns on some “feel good” music and dances as she warms the shower water to the perfect temperature.

The Snoozer - Laying down in the shower, she screams at her alarm, “10 more minutes!” The Starter - While Massaging her head with the suds from the shampoo, she continues to sing and dance to the music.

The Snoozer - Face dives into the cereal bowl. The Starter - Squeezes her fresh orange juice.

The Snoozer - Types a “sick day” email draft. The Starter - Organizes the picture frames of her smiling family and friends at her work desk.

The Snoozer - Walks into work, 30 minutes late, chugging a giant cup of coffee. The Starter - GOOD MORNING!
