Your script reads like a movie or a play, but the metaphor of your post's title makes me think of many other things in life. Blood money is everywhere in the world, including moviescripts. Unique post, I will follow and upvote you!
resteemed but amazing post
Interesting start to the story... sounds like Nisha is trouble, and Tonya has to cover and do the right thing. Was totally able to picture the scenes in my head. Never really read something in "script format" before. Good luck!!
Figured I would try and give the view a back door look reading can get dull to some
Good post best regards from [email protected]
Thank you very much love and respect
Thank you friends do not forget [email protected]
Really intersting
good post thank you
It's not properly written script. You can best learn from Save the cat books and there's one formatting that can be of great use for you.
just a draft for your entertainment but thanks for your comment anyway
Next time I'll bring some popcorn)
Coming soon stay tuned
Nice. Keep up the good work and it soon shall work in your favor.
This is really great @rest100. I don't know whether it is a poem or something else, but you've really written an amazing piece. You are welcome to visit and have a look on my creations @vinaypsychic.

This is the first time I am reading a movie script. Interesting, at least I get a behind the scene look at this process.
Thats the idea I want to give you a behind the screen look
Indeed, it has achieved its purpose. Thanks for sharing.
