The glamorous life of a screenwriter

Okay, I need the kid to end up back at the lighthouse, but why would he go there again after what happened the last time? He knows it's dangerous. So why go?

Maybe if I fix a glass of water for myself, the answer will come to me.

All right, here we go. Kid, lighthouse, right. He goes back because.... something draws him there. So what's that "something?"

I haven't checked my email in a few minutes. Orbitz...boner pills... note from the wife. I'll write a quick response.

(clap enthusiastically, crack neck) Right on, kid and lighthouse, lighthouse and kid. There's absolutely no reason for him to go back. This movie's gonna suck. You're terrible at this.

Oh look, my wife responded to my response. My "Incoming Mail" sound is Captain Tupelov from Hunt for Red October saying "You arrogant ass! You've killed US". I love that movie, but every time I get an email, Tupelov's voice jolts the bejeezus out of me. I should probably change it. Maybe I should take care of that right now.

Kid and lighthouse. Fuck.

Is it five yet? A vodka tonic sounds super excellent, but it's only four thirty. Then again, if I play a game of computer chess, I can use indirect thought to solve the lighthouse problem, and by the time the game is finished, I can have a cocktail in good conscience.

Chess it is.
