There is absolutely nothing else in sight except for the clammy, grey earth beneath the little black thing, and the thick black air that is so thick, it seems as if one can reach out and touch it. It quivers and trembles in its spot, before it lifts its head up, showing that it is, in fact, a small, scrawny, little boy. He peers up with his big, innocent, hazelnut eyes at his surroundings before timidly raising up onto his feet. His legs and body tremble, and quiver, and shake, even more than before, as if he can barely carry his own weight. Under closer inspection, the young boy's body is covered in large splotches of soot with a stark contrast of bright, deathly-pale, almost white skin peeking through the spaces where the soot does not kiss his skin. His black inky hair brushes against his bony shoulders whenever he moves. He shivers and chews at his lip nervously, quietly calling out to someone, his voice just a whisper that seems to float away into the thick air. His eyes dart around as if afraid that there is something lurking in the too silent expanse of earth, waiting to strike at him. He chews his lip a little harder, before meekly calling out again, attempting to raise his frail, small, soft, high- pitched voice. His bloody-red lips tremble as he calls [1] out, his whole being giving off a frightened, weak, and fragile aura. A deep resounding voice responds back to the small soot-covered boy. "Where....Where are you?”, the Soot boy calls out timidly, voice still so small and such a contrast to the deep voice that responds to him. His hazelnut eyes dance around the area quickly, trying desperately to locate the voice that means so much to him. The voice that he has started to cling to and need. He holds his breath as he waits for a response, desperation starting to show on his features as he shivers, quivers, and trembles in place. "I'm right here. I'm right here. Come to me, and tell me your name," the deep Voice resonates and echoes in the seemingly dead, and confined space. The Soot boy jumps a little, as if he had not expected a response, and timidly begins to walk towards the Voice. After a moment he begins to pick up his pace, the Voice whispering encouragements and sweet little nothings to the boy. With the encouragement of the voice, the boy's feet begin a quick, even rhythm of a pitter-patter on the grey, clammy ground, rushing as fast as his scrawny, bony legs can take him. It isn't long before he sees large, pure black- black as his inky hair and the soot covering him- arms extend out of the thick air in the comforting gesture of a hug. The Soot boy quickly rushes into the inviting arms, his fragile body quickly being encased in warmth. He slowly lifts his tiny arms, dwarfed by the other's size, and clutches [2] onto the other- onto the Voice with a body black as a shadow. Slowly the boy's eyes close, his long eyelashes brushing against his soot covered cheeks, and his shivering, quivering and trembling ceases. A calm spreading through the boy now that he is in the arms of the Voice. He remembers the other's question and frowns a little, the calm inside him starting to fade away, being replaced by a tight, painful knot in the pit of his stomach. "I-I don't have a...a...name," the nameless Soot boy whispers timidly, voice quivering with a heavy cloud of pained sadness, tensing slightly as if he expects his response to anger the other. As if he expects the other to strike out at him or to yell at him. The Voice simply chuckles and one can faintly see him shake his head. In fact one can make out the Voice's body faintly, even in the thick black air that matches his skin. "Yes you do. Don't you remember the one I gave to you?", the Voice whispers gently, as if trying to keep from frightening the nameless Soot boy. The aforementioned boy perks up a little, opening his hazelnut eyes to gaze curiously up at the Voice. He squints a little, and tilts his head to the side thoughtfully as he thinks upon the other's words. The nameless Soot boy smiles fondly after a moment, remembering the name the other gave him. It was not a real name, rather it was a pet name, but it was his name, and that [3] was all that mattered. That name belonged to him, and only him. It was his only belonging and he treasured it more than any real name he could ever have, or be given. That name was the most precious thing to him. It made him feel real, like he existed, and like he mattered. It destroyed all the pain and hurt he felt of not being born with a name he could call his own. It was the best feeling the not-so-nameless Soot boy could ever feel when he thought about that name. It was a feeling he could only describe as a liquid, fluttery heat in the core of his body. The fact that his precious Voice had given that name to him- gave him that gift of being able to have something belong to him- something that identified him- made that feeling all the stronger and better. It had him happier than he could ever explain. He slowly closed his eyes again, hiding his smile in the black skin in front of him. "Remind me of what it was again, please, I forgot," the Soot boy whispers softly, a warmth in his voice that he cannot hide. The Voice chuckles knowingly, and lowers his head to the Soot boy's ear and whispers his name into it gently, lovingly, intimately. The Soot boy shudders, eye lids fluttering as a shiver runs down his spine. He breathes softly through parted bloody-red lips, eyes half lidded, the intimacy of the moment and the whisper of his name making that liquid, fluttery heat in his stomach spread like wild fire through him. He clutches tightly to the voice, still [4] trying to calm himself as a few more shudders wrack his fragile, little body. He lets out a soft, little, content sigh. "Please, please say it again. Please, I need to hear you say it...I need you." the Soot boy whispers desperately, needing more from the other. Needing the comfort of the other's voice and that name, that name that belongs soley to him. The only thing on the earth that he could say belonged to him. He needed the security of the other, the feeling of being precious to another, all those feelings the Voice gave him. He needed them so bad. He wanted the other to possess him- he wanted to belong to the Voice more than anything, and so he whispered it softly. Whispered to the Voice that he wanted to belong to him, wanted the Voice to have him entirely. The Voice chuckled, shaking the Soot boy in his arms with his laughter. One would think that the feeling of being shaken would be unpleasant, but the Soot boy found it comforting, like being rocked gently back and forth.

  • T H E I N F O R M E
    T H E I N F O R M E R S Screenplay by Bret Easton Ellis & Nicholas Jarecki Based on the book "The Informers" by Bret Easton Ellis Black water flickers with light. Suddenly a pool is radiated an intense aqua blue. The sounds of a party fade in along with the ominous opening of The Go-Go's "This Town". A party in the backyard of a Bel Air mansion. 1983. It's paradisiacal: huge flowering trees lit by ground lamps, the massive steaming pool, a giant fountain spraying water, an endless maze of gardens, a house the size of a hotel looming over the scene. It's a dream, a mirage. The college kids that make-up the party are all interchangeable: blond, beautiful, tan. And everyone is dressed in the clothing of the era: pastels, Polo shirts with the collars up, tight jeans, pennyloafers, mini-skirts and Camp Beverly Hills tank-tops. GRAHAM (21) and CHRISTIE (19) are two of these perfect specimens. They make-out while sharing a joint on a chaise lounge by the pool. They blow smoke into each other's mouths and kiss hungrily, oblivious to the rest of the party. On the chaise lounge opposite them: MARTIN (20) and TIM (20). Tim does bumps of coke from a vial and is talking nonstop at Martin who just sips a Corona and stares coolly at the couple grinding into each other on the chaise. We can't hear anybody because of the music. BRUCE (20) makes his way down the steps leading to the pool, followed by a drunken RAYMOND (20), who's trying to explain something to him.

  • Read an Excerpt
    six months earlier shouldn’t be reading the notes. Hailey trims a rose and passes it to me. As I attach the note to the stem with sparkly pink ribbon, I read it. I can’t Ihelp it. This one’s a little over-the-top, but it’s still sweet. I give it to Olivia and she drops it in the classroom-specific bucket. “No way! You guys . .” Olivia snorts, laughing hard as she turns the card over in her hand. I guess she’s reading them, too. “I can’t tell who wrote this but . poor boy. This is so cheesy.” Someone’s attempt at heartfelt poetry makes its way around the circle. Alexis falls back against my bed in hysterics. Kaitlyn and Hailey double over on my rug. Eventually, I join in. “This is mean. Let’s not read them,” I say, hiding the rose in the middle of the bucket, wanting to protect this anonymous 3 guy who put his heart on the line for some girl in his calculus class named Jessica. Olivia grabs the stack of cards in front of me and starts thumbing through them. “God, who are these people and how do we not know any of them?” “We’re not losers?” Alexis offers. “It’s a big school,” Hailey counters. “Okay, back to work. The flowers are wilting.” Kaitlyn’s still laughing as she snaps back to her role as the leader of our Valentine’s Day fundraiser. “Olivia, since you like the notes so much, switch places with Samantha.” Olivia shakes her head, and her ponytail goes flying.
