Wasted Lives by Sean Patrowich - Drama - Finding himself sitting in a strange bar after his wife asks for a divorce, Scott is lost and feels he has lost everything. He doesn't know why he felt drawn to this bar but some force made him pull in and enter. Once inside he see only three, sad looking patrons and a charismatic, yet odd bartender. Scott sits at the bar, where he starts a conversation with the bartender, Sean Currie. Looking for pity from Sean, Scott starts to go on about his wife, how his life is over and he has lost everything. Unlike most bartenders though, Sean does not give Scott the pity he is searching for. Instead he tells Scott the dark life stories of the three other people sitting in the bar.  99 pages - pdf, format 8)

Hey Patrick,

Though your log line is WAY too long and extremely repetitive, I dig the anthology concept here.

"After his wife asks for a divorce, Scott finds an odd little watering hole to drink his sorrows away. But the mysterious bartender shows him the way in the form of three dark tales centering around the patrons occupying the bar." Yeah, I know, not the greatest log line, but something like that.

Your formatting seems a bit sloppy (the font should be COURIER or COURIER NEW/COURIER FINAL DRAFT). You have the right idea, overall, but instead of spending all that time trying to format it in MS Word, may I suggest screenwriting software? Trelby and CeltX are free. I highly recommend Writer's Duet, which was created by a friend of a friend. Heard nothing but good things about it.
