Avoidance

I'll admit it, I'm stalling.

I've gone to all the trouble of writing a screenplay and it's pretty much time to start knocking on doors (virtually) and getting the word out there.

It's a little scary.

But I didn't do all that work to have it sit on my hard drive. So I just need to get over it and get on with it.

I need to be ready for the idea that not everyone will like it. I also need to get used to the idea that someone really will like it.

So I am going to put it out into the universe with the same loving energy that helped me write it. In fact I'm going to tell you all about it. It's about time right... Ta da!

Pain by Proxy

Imagine pain and pleasure are energies extending beyond our bodies, and hidden among us are people who  can manipulate these energies. What would you give to take away the pain of someone you love?

A pleasure-addicted casino owner forces a doctor into hunting people who can feel his pain. The doctor realizes the young woman he wrote off as a hypochondriac has a powerful ability to absorb pain and no way to control it.

The doctor decides to hide her from the casino owner, and use her for his own purposes. He convinces her to carry the pain of a dying boy for his own financial gain.

After a lifetime of misery, she learns she can control the pain she absorbs and unleash it on others, setting the stage for an epic battle between pleasure and pain.
