The MURC teleplay/script dynamic thread (lets write a play post by post)

[Evildead666]

Present day.
"Love is Blue" by Paul Mauriat is playing in a loop. After the first loop, the music repeats, and the screen slowly transitions from black, showing a moonscape, with a large obelisk.
The large obelisk is a fist with the middle finger extended.

the volume of the music increases as the light slowly increases. the Sun rises behind the fist obelisk, culminating at the tip of the middle finger, light splashing all over the screen.

The screen now transitions to a small country town, somewhere in the middle of Europe, early morning, a slight morning mist is visible in the rising sun.........

I am as creative as a doorknob but I'll enjoy reading.

Said John as he sat on the terrace, turning the page of the book that absorbed all his attention... Suddenly...

John looked up from his book.
He felt as though he had lost track of time, that days had passed.
He wasn't sure if it was real, or just an impression.
He got up and walked inside to make a cup of tea, still pondering the thought lingering in his mind.
He set the kettle boiling, and prepared the teabags in his teapot, getting the milk from the fridge.
as he was pouring the water into the teapot, a thought popped into his head "Error 500, Internal server error".
He was startled by this thought.
"where in hell did that come from ?" he said out loud to himself.
Still pondering the rogue thought, he took the teapot to the patio, and set it down on the table.
He couldn't get the thought out of his head.
It was as if hundreds of voices had been suddenly silenced, and were now able to be heard again.
He poured his tea, and started to read his book again.
He was reading 'So long, and thanks for all the fish' by Douglas Adams.
The thought was still lingering, and he put the book down, unable to concentrate.
He just sat drinking his tea, looking out over the meadows, peaceful in their stillness.

"What to do today then, that'll get this thought out of my mind" he pondered.
Work on the car ?
Check his emails on his computer maybe ?
Watch a film ?
He was retired now, he was in control of his life now.

John finished his tea, and cleared the table.
Back in the kitchen, he cleaned the Teapot and cup, and set it to dry on the rack by the sink.

The though had gone now, and he was going through a list of films he might like to re-watch :
"Rococop ? Interstellar ? Debbie does Dallas ?"
Films flicking through his brain, he popped to the toilet.
Afterwards, he sat down, and switched on the Telly, flicking through the channels, until he got to the News.
I wonder if the world's gone to shit yet ?"
Wildfires in the Americas and Southern Europe.
Migrants crossing borders.
Regional wars, that weren't called wars.
So depressing.

He put some music on, and grabbed his laptop.
