If you like the
following story, you can complete
it. Send me an email. I have actually my finished copy in a
notebook. I want to know what you would
do with it. Would you like to make it
science fictional. That’s okay. Would you take out the swearing. That’s okay.
Would you set it in a playground?
That’s okay. You can do whatever
you want with it. I also have one more,
too. I’ll post that later. You can sell it too, if you want, or publish
somewhere. This is because I bang on a
bit about privacy on the net. And
stealing other people’s stuff.
WARNING: Very good themes in
final version, but a little bit of swearing.
Whoopi Goldberg used to say The F word is not a curse word, but Stupid
is. Think about it You’re so fucking…
wonderful/ beautiful/ talented/ stupid/ smart.
Which word would have bothered you?
Bluetones @ 8 : A parable. A short film by Grant Higham
Sign reads, “Must
have black shoes, tie and belt”
DAVE A white guy
walks into the bar and the bartender says
“We don’t serve
people like you”
The white guy
leaves the store and brings back JOHNNO another white friend, who wears a black
belt, a black tie, and black shoes, and a black armband. His jacket viewed from behind, reads “BLACKFELLAS”
who says “Do you serve people like us.”
“Sorry, the
bartender says, “we don’t serve people like you.”
Dave: “My friend
would like a drink.”
I’m sorry,
sir. We can’t do that. We don’t serve people like you.
DAVE says “See you
later Johnno”. He leaves and waits
outside
JOHNNO texts a
whole bunch of people. The text reads,
BLACKFELLAS, bluetones@8. Two guys are white and three guys are black. some of whom are dressed correctly, some of
whom are not.
“You can stay the
rest have to go”
“Cool can we use
the loo.”
“What all of you?”
“No just two of
us.”
Friend, “C’mon
man, we really need to go
“Alright that’s
fine, just the two of you.”
They change
clothes and come back,
“Which one of us
has to go?”
You all have to
go, right now.
What, these guys
need to go, too?
You all need to
go, before I get my friends here
All right, we won’t
all fit though.
He motions, six to
bouncer, who comes over.
There’s quite a
crowd around. Some are laughing. Some are not sure what to do.
Allright, fellas,
time to go before we call the cops.
Shut the fuck up,
motherfuckers. You don’t know who you
messed with. We ain’t no “fellows” of
yours, we’re the Blackfellas.
Hey Johnno, check
this guy out
He shows an ID
card
Manny’s face goes
white.
See us now.
Yeah sure, you’re
one of them blackfellas.
How come he’s
white
I honestly don’t
know
No, take a guess.
Because he’s part
aborigine.
You tool, he’s
fucking from Bosnia. Does he look black
to you?
No, he doesn’t I
was just wondering. Sorry
No, you said he
was a blackfella, now you say he’s not.
What is he then,
fucking green?
That’s right motherfucka. Why am I a blackfella?
Because you’re
black?
You just said he
was black.
What do you mean?
Are you fucking
stupid?
Probably. Grabs his friend and puts a gun against his
head. Does anyone know why I shouldn’t
shootthis motherfucker right now?
Bartender turns
away.. Where’s my courage? (THOUGHT)
Bartender’s
internal monologue goes, “Because it wasn’t his fault.” But he turns away. Where’s my courage (THOUGHT)
Please god help me
Wrong place. Wrong time.
Alright you can go, motions him to the floor.
I want to talk to
you. Anyone know why I shouldn’t kill
you.
Not surprised.
You know why we’re
the blackfellas. We’re the black fellas
because the world ain’t black and white.
Black signifies fullness of colour. White signifies absence of colour.
You guys got a lot
of stuff the wrong way around. You
do. You think black is bad and white is
good.
So you all reverse
it and say we are black on white We like
black belts, black collars, black shoes, black ties. The world’s not so black and white.
Anyone here
dressed for a funeral? He looks at the club and its patrons and the manifold
colours they sported.
So who was black
here? You were cause you’re heart was
dark and weak, motherfucker.
Then he turns the gun
to his own temple.
