Today you will get to know the end of this story, if by any chances I resolved it the way you imagined it or if the ending disappointed you. The truth is, just by forcing yourselves to crave some imagination that is the best reward you can get.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures or vices is to see movies in the middle of the story, so I can turn it into an exercise to guess the plot and understand each character. A good film must be able to capture your attention at any part.
INT. SCORPION’S BAR – NIGHT
It is a decrepit old bar in which the customers tend to be over fifty years. Victoria and Gabriel are sitting at the bar stools, with two glasses of red wine, they are the last customers.
VICTORIA
Nice improv with the second
imaginary friend, you went
from craziness to immortality.
GABRIEL
Are you sure somebody believed
I asked you to have sex?
VICTORIA
For some people it is
more fun to imagine the
conflicts than guessing.
We are asking the
audience to come up with
their own interpretation.
GABRIEL
Just like if you came after
the first act to a play and
you have to be very focused
in order to understand the
plot. What do the stats tell
us?
Victoria takes out her moleskine from her bag, she looks at some pages until she arrives at the one she’s looking for.
VICTORIA
In the beginning I had my
doubts this little play
will be effective, but
95% of the audience showed
interest on the play. Half
of them believe you are
insane, the other half believes
you can talk to ghosts. The
key fact, given by Pedro, is
that 50% of the customers at
the café leave after nine
o´clock. But with your
performance they all stayed
until ten thirty.
GABRIEL
Our play increased the
profits.
VICTORIA
Pedro offered us 20% of
the tips and free food
for the next show.
GABRIEL
I can’t believe I have
a stage and a salary.
VICTORIA
We can’t accept the
offer. This was an
experiment, we wanted
to see if plays can
leave the stage and
still capture the
audience.
Victoria raises her glass, Gabriel does the same and they toast by clinching their heads.
