Wow, this is surprise!
An early one, back by popular demand. Thanks, Don.

P.S. You can all blame the new guy, who I might add, better have an entry. Challenge issued!  

Ahoy Don,

Ugh, dumb question, but... um, does it has to involve some sort of chase, right? No? Andrea

Yup, that bout sums it up -- gotcha!

You could always go for a metaphorical chase.

I'm going to guess Zack's entry will feature two nubile young women, a machete welding maniac, and the setting will be in the woods.

Um, that sounds like a great idea -- we just might have to steal this one.

and, yes. Metaphorical chase will be allowed.

WHAT?!

I just this second completed an 8-page short titled 'Smoke'.

This is a reworking of something I began last night but gave up on because I was too tired to complete it.

Wanna know what it's original title was?

'Chase'.

So, wonderful... now I gotta start all over again, and as usual it's all Don's fault.

...

Question: by "real name(s)" do you mean our member name?

Asking for a friend. His name is Drongo Bum.

Yeah, the friend is me.

Quoted from LC You can all blame the new guy...

Oh, sure, yeah... everybody always blames the new guy.

The good news is other people have joined this site after I did, so HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Do not, under any circumstances put Drongo Bum on your title page for this challenge. We will know who you are and we will come for you. You may choose any nom de plume for your script - example: Mor Ironic, Noah Lott or Paige Turner.

Your real name goes on your entry form.

Quoted from LC Your real name goes on your entry form.

In that case, I'm out.

Dang.

I was kinda looking forward to this.

Quoted from Drongo Bum Oh, sure, yeah... everybody always blames the new guy. The good news is other people have joined this site after I did, so HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

There really is nobody else quite as vocal as you have been, to blame. If it makes you feel any better I suppose we could blame Don...

Quoted from Drongo Bum In that case, I'm out. Dang. I was kinda looking forward to this.

Here I was thinking your real name was Drongo Bum.

Gonna eat my dinner then write a new short, titled 'Chase'.

Or maybe some other title. I don't know.

But I'll upload it as a normal script submission and you can consider it my out-of-contest entry, although by the time Don sleeps off his latest bender and finally leaves the hammock long enough to post my short it'll likely be in time for OWC 4Q '26.
