Thanks, Dustin, Bill and Glenn. And thanks to everyone who read and commented. I almost didn't participate this go round because every idea I had seemed like comedy. It wasn't until I saw some people encouraging Dave to go ahead and do a comedy idea that I thought, "Oh okay. They're literally asking for it” Though I did try to send a clear message in the logline that the script would be largely absurd. I know people can get annoyed when they read something they don't consider a serious entry, but based on the logline you should've seen this coming.

I wouldn't say it's a pisser, though. Maybe in the sense that it's a comedy when the genre was supposed to be horror. Otherwise my idea of pisser is still using forum members as characters or telling jokes that make no sense outside of the context of the challenge. As ridiculous as it is, I didn't write any of the jokes as "in-jokes".

And finally, I suppose I'll explain that ending. Basically I got to Grogal weeping over his dead lover and thought, "This is actually kind of depressing now. It can't end on a serious note. It has to be ridiculous." So I came up with the idea of it being a story Grogal was telling to the police, and since he could easily be lying (and most likely is, if you think about it) I figured I could loop back around to funny. I get it's not everyone's favorite ending, but it served it's purpose of undercutting any genuine heartfelt emotion and getting this thing back on track to being as stupid as possible, so I think it's essential.

Anyway thanks again. Hopefully I didn’t annoy anyone too much with my shenanigans.
