Subject: This Isn't Happening

Winter is a time that sometimes gives us too much quiet time to reflect on things. Cold dreary November afternoons are wonderful if you cuddled up with someone special, but damn do they suck when you're spending them alone staring out at gray skies.
We find Justin Watts in just such a situation, his eyes distant and as iced over as the sky he surveys. This is obviously a man with far too much on his mind. And nothing but time to torture himself with it.
That's kinda the funny thing about time alone. The things you think never seem to be too healthy for yourself. Especially in the heart of winter. And after spending holidays alone. It's no wonder suicides are so prevalent around the yuletide.
Justin himself is perched on a bridge..well, perched is a bad word really. He is leaning over the railing, looking down at the water...he's not really even thinking about jumping, but if someone stumbled across the scene....

Ronnie:Dude what the HELL?!?!?

Justin's head snaps towards the sound of the voice, and smiles weakly at Ronnie McDowell, the other, smaller half of Full Deck.

Justin:What?

Ronnie:Let me think, depressed friend of mine...bridge...what the hell are you thinking man?

Justins face twists in a vaguely pissed look.

Justin:I'm just thinking Ron..back off.

Ronnie smiles undaunted and sits, carefully on the railing.

Ronnie:Well...since everything (sarcastic tone) is peachy with you...

Justin:I didn't say it was...

Ronnie:I got some big stuff on my plate bro.

Justin:What's that?

Ronnie:Falconer Title my friend. Me and...I dunno how many other guys...for a shot at the belt.

Justin eyes his friend closely

Justin:You got yourself a title shot?

Ronnie polishes his nails on his chest

Ronnie:Sure nuff....when I win.

Justin laughs

Ronnie:What the hell pope of mope? At least I'm TRYING. Hell we could go after the tag belts, but SOMEONE is busy being all pussified.

Justin's laughter cuts off.

Justin:Screw you man, you don't know...

Ronnie:Yeah I do...so what? So your girl left you, you're not sure about this whole wrestling thing....our musical career got stopped when John decided he was a little too good for us...so what? You need to quit feeling sorry for yourself and start doing something to change the situation you are in...don't expect anyone else to feel sorry for you, because, frankly, this crap is pathetic.

Justin shakes his head irritatedly.

Justin:Damnit, Ron, you're lucky I don't just beat the hell out of you...

Ronnie:If you think you can...

Ronnie hops down off the railing and stands up to the larger Watts...

Ronnie:Do it.

Justin leans back..and shakes his head sadly..

Justin:I can't...cause I know you're right..I know it...

Ronnie:Jus, when I left ya the other day, you seemed to have found your focus...what happened?

Justin:I dunno man...I hit the gym...and. the harder I trained...the more I thought....and it's like I almost exploded...I'm not right., Ron.

Ronnie:Right? What the hell does THAT mean?

Justin:I don't know...

Ronnie:Well figure it out, because if I have to see much more of you moping around like this...I'm gonna kill you...to put BOTH of us out of YOUR misery. Oh...and..don't fall in...

He mockingly pushes at Justin...and then walks off...Justin resumes his stare at the water. Title shot...in the balance..his friend...what could he do. What was he doing...what is he doing....with the questions of a lifetime swirling around in his head...he whirls away from the water, and heads off in the opposite direction of the way that Ronnie went....fade
