(the scene opens up… home. Where the red fern grows, where the moon will always glow. X-Rodd finally stops walking to the doorsteps of his Cherry Run palace in Springfield, Virginia. He hasn’t felt this way in a long time. His wife Ashley must be inside, just moping around because she doesn’t know where her husband is.)
This is going to be great….
(X-Rodd opens the door, and expects his wife to be sitting in the living room, with tissue sheets sprawling all over the place. The living room is empty. The TV is on, and it’s coincidentally on the SCWF channel. The Pimptress is cutting another one of her lousy promos. It’s still impossible to believe that she was able to defeat X-Rodd… it doesn’t make sense.)
It was a fluke, I say…
---------------------------------
(X-Rodd passes by the TV. He looks at the moniter, and smiles. Suddenly taps on the “mute” button, and hears some noises upstairs. He runs up, expecting his wife to be there, lying in some new lingerie…. But still… that’s not the case. It is much worse.
There is a guy behind Ashley, covering her mouth. He has a gun pointed to her head. Another guy is at the door…
…waiting.
X-Rodd sees everything… and whatever happens next becomes a blur…
He runs up to the man next to the door, but the man has already expected it. The man moves out of the way, and throws X-Rodd against the door. The door breaks off its hinges, and X-Rodd hits the floor hard with the loud thump. He knows that his head has been lacerated, but he looks up. Now the man who was next to the door before, is now right next to the man with the gun. Ashley’s tears has smeared her eye makeup. Both gunmen move their lips, but for some reason they appear inaudible to X-Rodd. Suddenly, the man with the gun starts to shout, and the other man starts to run away. A blast of orange is suddenly visible……followed by a splash of red emanating from Ashley’s head.
He knows it’s over. The other gunman scrambles out. X-Rodd now feels the warmth of his tears covering his eyes. He crawls over to his beloved Ashley. She doesn’t move. He shakes her. She still doesn’t move. He braces himself as he turns her face towards his. What he sees next would cause any other man self-mutilation.
He sees a completely new face… only this one resembles that of a woman he knows looks familiar… Disgust crosses his face as he sees who it is. It is that Pimpess girl… the one who defeated him at a Memorial match just a few days ago. The face looks up at X-Rodd… and the rigamortis has left it smiling. X-Rodd cringes… and turns to his side as he vomits… He doesn’t remember when he had last eaten.
-----------------------------
(Tears still slide down his cheeks as X-Rodd stands in the living room.)
….wait… WHAT?!
(His eyes dart towards the television screen… the SAME Pimpess promo is being displayed… which means that…)
Oh my God… it was JUST a dream…
(Relief surges through his blood veins. He shakes his head, and lets out a sigh.)
Hey, she could be upstairs…
(X-Rodd goes the stairs, and as he climbs up… he quickly notices a noise.)
…I didn’t know Ashley liked to jump on her bed. Maybe this is what she does when she’s bored?
(He opens the door to his bedroom. What he sees isn’t a dream. It is his worst nightmare.
She is in bed with another man… who he also knows… just all TOO well. Rage. His BROTHER. HIS OWN FUCKING BROTHER. There he is… thrusting himself away at his WIFE. The woman he decided to dedicate HIS LIFE TO. The woman of his dreams, who he took the liberty of turning into a famous female wrestler, and an international supermodel. BOTH OF THEM, FUCKING THEIR BRAINS OUT.
Ashley: “Ohhhhhh, Rage….. OHHHH!!!!”
(He can feel it… the vomit.)
X-Rodd: “Oh my God…”
(Both his brother and wife stop. They instinctively turn their heads to him. This couldn’t be real… but it IS.)
Ashley: “…Rodd?”
(Rage’s eyes look as if a ghost were to be flicking him off right then and there. What could be said?)
Rage: “Awww SHIT! Rodd!”
(He looks at Ashley, and jumps off. He hits the floor hard, and jumps back up. Ashley covers herself… even though it’s obvious that everyone’s seen what’s under the sheets anyways.)
Ashley: “You’re… ALIVE?!”
As opposed to what… Dead?
(If only he could say something right now… but the vomit just couldn’t hold itself in anymore. It shoots… it splats… it stains. Like eternity. Kind of like blood. When he’s finished… he looks at them. They’re like statues. They don’t move. That doesn’t change reality, though.)
X-Rodd: “… I can’t believe you guys. What the FUCK?!”
Rage: “We thought you were DEAD man…”
X-Rodd: “SO?! Does this mean my wife becomes the Fuck for All Zone?! YOU FUCKER!”
(He goes to Rage, and PUNCHES him across the face. Rage goes down, and looks up at his brother. It’s like as if he’s opening up for more punches. X-Rodd sees… and conquers. He picks Rage up, and literally throws him out of the room through the doorway. Rage nearly falls down the stairs, but he’s not THAT frozen. X-Rodd shuts the door. He turns around, and goes face to face with his… his “one true love.”)
X-Rodd: “You bitch…”
(Ashley cries.)
Ashley: “I’m sorry!”
X-Rodd: “YOU FUCKING… BITCH!”
(The tears run down like a river. Does it matter from who?)
X-Rodd: “How could you DO THIS?! After EVERYTHING I’ve done for you!”
(Ashley wipes her eyes.)
Ashley: “Well what was I SUPPOSED to do?! You LEAVE the house without calling, and we don’t hear from you in MONTHS! If anyone deserves to be asking questions, it should be ME! I’M THE ONE who was worried, and frankly, I got SICK of it! SICK of IT! Do you really think I was going to wait FOREVER for YOU!? After putting ME through all of that shit?!”
(X-Rodd breathes… quickly. Ashley blinks. Her eyes are red… not from tears.)
Oh my God… she’s been doing drugs…
(Ashley smiles… she tries to conquer.)
Ashley: “Besides… if I had known your brother made love better than you, I would’ve gone for him anyways…”
(She fails. X-Rodd lunges at her, and grabs her by the back or her hair. How he once used to hold it ever so gently… now he wants to rip it all out.)
X-Rodd: “Hey Ashley… when did you say it was okay for a guy to hit a girl?”
(Ashley screams.)
X-Rodd: “Yeah… when SHE’s the one who thinks she can get away with hitting a guy.”
(Surprisingly, Ashley tries to slaps X-Rodd. She misses. Now X-Rodd conquers. He pulls on her hair and drags her out of the bed. When she tries to sratch him, he backhands her. He doesn’t care. She tries to spear at him, he flips her over, and pins her down. He grabs at her cheek. He is literally breathing down her neck.)
X-Rodd: “Ashley… baby… you fucked up. You fucked up REAL bad… cuz now… everything that I’ve given you… I’m going to take back. The only thing I won’t be able to take back… is TIME. I love you…
(He kisses her in the lips. He tastes blood. He adores it.)
“…I hate you…”
(He kisses her neck, and her collarbone. She moans.)
“…I’m going to miss you.”
(And with that, takes his right hand, and feels her whole body, from the ankles… up her leg… circling her… “jewel”… circling her navel, right up her sternum, up her neck, and then her face. He covers her eyes with his right hand, and kisses her lips one last time. He rises up. She enjoyed it… he knows it.)
“I’m going to leave now.”
(She grunts. He walks away. Leaving the room, he sees Rage. He sits down next to the bedroom doorway. He looks up at his brother. He laughs.)
Rage: “Awww shit yo… that was ill!”
(X-Rodd squints his eyes. He kicks him right in the testicles. Rage bends over. He won’t get up from that in a LONG while. X-Rodd plans of purchasing a walker for his little brother.
On his way out of the house, he looks at the television, just a glimpse. He is in full concentration of what he sees.)
”And as far as X Rodd is concerned...suck it up boy. The b*tch is going to beat you and beat you good! At least she better as I have a hundred bucks riding on that match. Hit him where it hurts, Pimpess, and make sure Jeremy collects all the winning."
(X-Rodd finds his remote and turns off the T.V. He knows what he’s going to.
He hurls the remote at the T.V. It cracks, and he hears a minor explosion. Now for the next step…
….He will find a place to stay…
….He will train…
….and come Friday… he will take out all of his anger…
…on a woman. Does he care?…
X-Rodd: “Hey Ashley… when did you say it was okay for a guy to hit a girl?”
(Ashley screams.)
X-Rodd: “Yeah… when SHE’s the one who thinks she can get away with hitting a guy.”
And once again… He WILL conquer.)
(End of Scene.)
