An amusing little tale, Helio.  Kind of like a comical Twilight Zone episode.  I found it a little predictable, in part due to the name of the piece.  Maybe if you expanded it, you can make the 'surprise' a little more subtle.

I agree with Phil. It was predictable to a point. You could have really expanded this one. The lady could have wound up joining the man in the fish bowl as she hung the picture. And they could have become fish with only their faces on the gold fish bodies. Go wild.

I can't read this one because I think it is PDF file. Is there a way you can put the script into a microsoft word document or something like that?

Helio, you amaze me each time with the scripts you write, and I truly mean this in a good kind of amazement. They are all so odd, and yet I get what they mean. I have a review here for you.

From what I heard, English is not your first language, and yet you still are pretty much top notch on it. In fact, sometimes it is impossible to tell the difference. You have great puncture and grammar to go along with a nicely told story.

This script had me laughing out loud at some points, and this whole thing was actually playing out in my head as it went along. You have a great way of getting people caught in your net of a story because of how well it is written.

Can you explain to me how he got in the painting? It confuses me. Was this all in his imagination or in someone else's. I don't get it.

Helio, keep up the good work, because I love every single piece you have posted on this site so far. Good luck with future projects, and I'm looking forward to reading and reviewing more of your scripts.

-Jimbo

Hey Jimbo!

Man, with more good comments like yours will make me inflate! Not too much because I can to explode!

Thanks, thanks and thanks!

I'm preparing a new version of it more long than this one about 10 pages.
