Wired Weekend

Just got the partial script!  Time to come up with an idea.  The prompt is:

Script Prompt: "I can't take it anymore!"
Your story gets started by someone (your hero or another character) who just "cannot take it anymore" and he/she decides to react. This reaction is the catalyst for your story. For example, Tammy, a high school teenager, is a big flirt. Her boyfriend "cannot take it anymore" and breaks up with her. Tammy realizes her mistake and decides to win him back. Another example, Tom's pet boa constrictor gets into the neighbor's apartment and causes a chaotic panic. The landord "cannot take it anymore" gives Tom notice to comply to the "no pets" policy or move out. Tom has two days to find homes for his three cats, dog, ferret, snakes, parrots and iguana.

Script Elements
1. Someone in the story must tie their shoes.
2. Dialogue or visual reference to a newspaper. For example, your character could talk about a news article, or he could drop his keys on a table next to the morning newspaper.
3. Your character takes a picture or shoots some video with a cellphone. Or your character gets a picture or video via his cellphone.
4. One of your characters (or an extra) is seen eating a piece of fruit.


Wish me luck!
