The Wrath
-Soon-
What the hell have they done? This isn't our story anymore. What
has become of this… this… debacle.
“What's wrong?” Mai-Pai asked. I groaned.
“Look,” I said. I slide over a copy of the script. She looked down
for a read. A confused look came over her face.
“What is this?” she asked.
“The script,” I said. She wrinkled her nose.
“What is it?” Mai-Pai asked. I frowned at her.
“It's not our story,” I said. “They ruined it.” Mai-Pai scanned the
page. She too started to frown.
“Oh…” my wife said. I pressed my lips together and nodded. She put
down the script. Mai-Pai looked so pale.
Oh no,” she mumbled. She reached for the phone. I sat watching her.
She paced around as it rang. I didn't think that was going to
work.
“Hello?” I heard Hindeo over the phone. I lifted my head.
“Hindeo! What the hell did you do?!” I shouted. There was a
pause.
“What?” he asked. I gritted my teeth.
“Calm down,” Mai-Pai mouthed at me. I took a deep breath.
“What?” Hindeo asked. “It's just a few edits.” Just a few edits?
Just a few edits?!
“No!” I snapped. “It's wrong! It's all wrong!” Mai-Pai held up her
hand. I took a breath.
“Why did you do this?” I asked. Hindeo nervously laughed.
“They wanted more edits,” he said.
“Why?” I asked. My face felt hot. I started breathing heavily.
Mai-Pai held up her hand.
“Um… To make it better?” he asked. My jaw hit the floor.
“Better?” I asked.
“I'm so sorry!” Hindeo shouted. I wanted to jump over and snatch
the phone out of Mai-Pai's hand.
“Do you still have Murray's number?” my wife asked. I got up and
walked out of the kitchen.
They can't do this! I knew this was a bad idea. The film is going
to flop. I just know it. I clenched my fists at my sides. Damn
it!
“Honey! Murry wants to talk to us!” Mai-Pai shouted. I rolled my
eyes. What could he possibly say to make this right? I turned and
walked back into the kitchen. I don't want any part of this
anymore. I wish they hadn't talked me into this.
