MONSTER SIGHTING
“Holy shit, what the f#@!”, Trisha screamed as she gazed out of the six-story window of her apartment on the trendy part of Cinemavile. The nightmarish pounding of Godzilla-like footsteps timed almost rhythmically was accompanied by seismic shaking that caused the chandeliers of her posh digs to sway gently. As Trish gazed below, the ugly blood curdling screams of helpless people filled the air like a thunder cloud intruding on a sunny day.
Trisha’s big blue eyes bulged in disbelief as she watched this creature chase a luxury SUV down Star Blvd and whimsically lift it from the ground as its wheels spun uselessly a seeming ten stories up in its grip. The poor people in the SUV were the lucky ones; left in the path of this sci-fi movie-come-to-life were five or six cars and trucks crushed into the roadway, flattened and in some cases pressed into the indented pavement. People on foot were not spared as the monster dropped the SUV onto a fleeing mob.
City folk at street-level were enveloped in a sensory vacuum. The thunderous approach of the monster caused people’s ears to pressurize; others too close to the creature’s feet went temporarily deaf. Giant sweaty feet left gigantic moisturized footprints in the street, a toe print mockingly pressed onto a half crushed car and as people gathered to help the injured passengers of the toyed-with SUV, several Good Samaritans were in awe at the tennis racket sized fingerprints emblazoned upon it like a bad paint job. Beads of sweat the size of golf balls were paved onto the city streets.
Two enormous strands of the monster’s hair strewn recklessly in the nearby intersection met two cars with disastrous results as the strands ensnared the vehicle’s axles, sending the cars spinning violently into opposing traffic as the monster watched.
GOD, BEING A GIANT IS SO DAMN AWESOME, Eileen remarked as she rolled her big brown eyes in ecstasy, wrecked cars at her painted toes. BY THE WAY, JUST HOW SEXY DOES THIS CALVIN KLEIN EUPORIA PERFUME SMELL ON ME?, Eileen asked mockingly down to several injured people lying in the street.
A YEAR EARLIER
Ring! Ring! “Hello?”, Eileen answered like a perky school girl. “Hey, ‘Leen”, Trish greeted the actress with girlish glee. “Hey, glad to hear from you. Uh, havin’ the best time here at the spa; Just gotta mud bath, pedicure and now I’m at the pool wearing this cute bikini I got at Fredericks of Hollywood…at $2,000 it better be cute. What’s up?,” Eileen inquired excitedly. “Just got a call from the studio and they have a part for you. I know you just wrapped on a film with some A-Listers and I’m working on getting you a supporting role with some of the same people, but….” “What is it?” Eileen asked as she prepared herself for disappointment.
“Well, it’s not exactly the romantic comedy you just shot, but it sounds very high profile. Well, it’s the lead role in the newest remake of the movie, get this, Attack of the 50’ Woman,” Trish finished with a cringe on her face. An awkward pause ensued. “Hello?” Trish asked over a quiet cell phone. Then laughter. “OK, let’s get this straight, you got me, Ms. girly girl, Ms. Got-to-the-spa weekly…and I might add Emmy-Award winning actress playing a giant woman? Are you crazy?” Trish smiled. “I felt the same way, but hear me out. The screenplay and storyline have been completely revamped and overhauled and it will be nothing like the first two. It’s actually an interesting story and your character gets to do some amazing things as the 50’ Woman. Most importantly, you and only you are the star. This is A-List material” Trish said with re-assurance.
Eileen let her guard down. “Alright, so who’s directing?” she asked. Trish was awash in excitement and anticipation. “Get this, the directing and special effects will be overseen by the directors of the Matrix movies. Isn’t that awesome!” Trish exclaimed. Eileen’s skepticism seemed to melt in the sun. “That does sound pretty awesome. When can you send me the script?” Eileen replied as she took a sip of her fruity cocktail and adjusted her designer sunglasses.
