Estimating Life..

A Screenplay by Laith N. Al Adham

So about that thing I once had called life, you think we can find something similar I can use for a while? I really need to bridge that gap between then and tomorrow. After all, now is no longer of interest. So how about that life? How about it?

 

And what about that thought we had once of taking on the whole world and changing things? I think we lost it somewhere along the way when we hit puberty but the seed is still there. I think I heard you speaking of a plan sometime back but that flame you had burning in your eyes was no longer burning for that thought, but it burned for what made things right for you. So how about that thought? Yea how about it?

 

Do you vaguely have any recollection at all of your childhood joys and at the time biggest obsessions?  About that child you once were, what do you think he’d say if you ran into him today? I mean think about it, he was 10 times more daring than you’ll ever be now, 100 times more focused and 1000 time more determined.  So I think he’d defiantly kick your a*s back to bed where you belong to dwell. So how about that child? Yea how about him?

 

What happened to your enemy? Like it or not, we’re all born with our absolute opposite. Our nemesis. Sworn to bring us down and us them. Did you see his face yet? When you speak, he speaks. When you move he moves. When you breathe he breathes. Shocked? Appalled by the thought that your own enemy is you? So do what you must but don’t tell me you can’t see it yet. Now how about that enemy? Yea how about him?

 

Now scratch your head, rub your eyes then light up a smoke and sip your drink. Be that way, it’s fine just as long as you don’t fight the urge to think again and re-estimate what your are worth to yourself. That’s it sip the drink till you see the bottom of your glass and then let me know if you changed anything. Now tell me, How about that drink? Yea how about it?
