I dunno. I read it and I shrugged. It was one page long without much of a punchline or comedy in it. I understood what you were trying to do, but it just didn't work.

OK, so it's no Bull's Eye.
One and done.
Must have been a quick sit on the john.
It felt rushed and the punchline was MIA.
The funniest thing would be if this wasn't written by Helio.
Anyway, a couple of ways to make this a tad better might be at the end of the story, to have the glass door with the doctor's name be riddled with bullet holes.
Or maybe, we see another sign that indicates the doc is an NRA member.  Or we a rifle in his office.  Or who the heck knows.  Just shoot me.

I'm not sure if I laughed with it or at it, but I laughed. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say I laughed with it. Yeah, it was funny. 6/10.

I would stretch this out a bit more.  Make the patient seem more obsessed with guns.  There would be a better payoff this way.

Helio, my dear friend, like Tomson, I love you. I recognized you instantly. That’s actually a very good sign. You have a very distinct style. I look forward to the day some new young hot shot writer is accused of trying to imitate Helio J. Cordeiro.

Good job for a short short. I do agree with others that you could rethink this little gem and make it sizzle. Stretch it out and it will really hit the bullseye.

Funny read, this is. It isn't great, but it isn't horrible either. I usually hate reading scripts of this length. I wasn't looking forward to this, but hey. It gave me a laugh, I'll search the boards for more of your work.

Helio is one of our most prolific writers here. Check his stuff out. I've pretty much enjoyed everything even though he has to work through the language differences. His stories are twisted but with heart.

EDIT: This was one of the one week exercise scripts so that is why it is not polished more than likely.

Um...... It was one page. One page with a great pun at the end. I didn't really get to into the sotry being the shortness but I liked the pun and i think it had potentional if you work out a great plot. The character has amazing potentional. Spelling error at end:

The door sing (should be sign) reads.......

But all and all 3 out of 10 stars being the shortness and oddness of being that short. Ha

The Threat (Action/Drama) (Short)
