APPLE

Hi, My name is apple...My mom named me that because we lived on an apple orchard and that's were I was raised. We don't live there any more because we had to sell it when my dad died. My mom loved to pick apples and she bakes the best apple pie but she wont tell anyone the recipe because its a secret. My mom says I am mentally challenged but that's OK cause I also have a gift and that gift is I can look into peoples eyes and be able to tell them there future, and sometimes I see things that are going to happen before they happen. Any way you know what I love trucks cause trucks are fast. My Dad gave me his ole one but I can't drive it on the street cause I cant have a license but my mom lets me drive it back in the field behind our house on a trail.. My truck is the best truck and its superfast and I keep it in supertune shape.. I also love my dog cause he is the best dog in the world and he goes with me in the truck and is a special dog cause he loves everyone. Anyway like I said my name is Apple and uh-uh I hope you like my movie ABOUT ME AND MY LIFE cause I think its good....

APPLE

(Intense and dramatic music flowing)

God I don't understand. I have nothing and that's all that's left. I have tried my best and I have lived long enough. These gifts you have given me are nothing but bad ones I have no mother, no father, no friends, no life. I once thought you of you as being everything in order to experience your self you are the birds the trees, the people the animals, the streams, the rivers the everything. But now I see you are nothing, nothing to me, I am confused, and I don't understand you that's why I must sit with you now and be with my parents. I want answers I need answers god....Goodbye world goodbye world.....

Apple slowly stumbles off the chair and begins to hang as there are flashes of his childhood, his father loving him, to him becoming aware of his gift at an early age to all his losses to him pondering in thought to the pregnant women having the baby. To the brother who makes amends to his family then is hit by a car, to the view of his dog from behind walking away from him. then a huge right light begins to overtake the screen as apple continues to hang..

The screen begins to Fade to Black.

The screen then fades to a bright white light with intense music!!!

The screen then starts to fade in to reality where you start to see hands untie the Noose. The rope gets released Apple falls to the dirt and begins to awake..

You then see hands start taking the noose from around Apples head and a man stands him up and wipes of the dirt and puts his hands on his shoulders and looks into his eyes as apple looks back (ITS HIS FATHER)............
