INT. ADAM'S LIVING ROOM - EVENING
Daniel sits nervously on a chair. It seemed to take forever.
DANIEL
How long is this gonna take?
ADAM
I dunno, it better hurry up.
DANIEL
(slightly raises his voice)
It's going to be awesome.
ADAM
(pointing to the television)
I know...here it comes.
The game comes up on screen. Daniel and Adam get ready to play. It freezes.
DANIEL
Dude, what the hell?
ADAM
(shouting at the television)
What the f*ck just happened?
A yellow light shows up on the console.
DANIEL
(with a slight smirk on his face)
Ahhh man, your PS3's broke.
ADAM
What the hell stupid Sony, why doesn't it work?
DANIEL
I told you to get a 360 bro, but you wouldn't listen.
ADAM
(shouting with a disgusted look on his face)
Shut the hell up!
The console catches fire.
DANIEL
(shouting and pointing at the console)
Dude, it's on fire!
ADAM
(running to get some water)
Holy sh*t.
Adam puts the fire out.
DANIEL
You brought some dodgy console dude.
ADAM
I know.
ADAM (cont.)
F*cking Wal-Mart better give me my money back. I wanted a PS3, not a grill with yellow lights.
DANIEL
(clutches stomach)
Hahahaha, dude, you brought a f*cking grill!

Story Homework
Here is the story using those random cards. I got -
Ford Taurus
Mercy
McDonald's
Savannah, Georgia
Sioux City
Mojave Desert
NFL
So here it is, hope you like it -
This was it. The last game of the indoor football league season. My team – the Sioux City Bandits - had the chance to win the title. There was also going to be representatives from the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL, so I had to play my very best.
...1 minute left, we were winning 30-16. It seemed to take forever... The referee blew the whistle, we had done it! I was so happy, it was the best feeling I had ever felt. We all went to dressing room and congratulated each other. It was so amazing to see smiles on everybody’s faces. I was also keeping a close eye on the coach.
“John can I talk to you for a minute?” coach asked.
“Yes coach” I replied.
“John this is Les Snead, he is the Director of Player Personnel over at the Atlanta Falcons. Les this is John Mercy, the guy I was telling you about” coach said.
“John how very nice to meet you” Les said.
“It’s very nice to meet you to sir” I said.
“Can I just say you played magnificently out there tonight”
“Thank you very much” I replied.
“I’ve been sent here to try and find some rising stars, and I think you could make it big in the NFL” Les said.
“Wow, thank you”
“So I would like to formally offer you a place, as the quarterback, next season, in the NFL, with the Atlanta Falcons” Les said with a smile on his face.
“Yes, I accept, this is an amazing opportunity, thank you so much!” I replied.
“Right, we’ll be in contact soon, to sort out the paperwork”
“Thank you again, I’ll look forward to hearing from you” I replied.
This was incredible. The best day of my life. I had to ring my mom.
“Mom, guess what?”
“What, she replied”
“I’m gonna be able to visit you more”
“That’s great son, but how?”
“As of next season, I will be playing, in the NFL, for the Atlanta Falcons”
“Wow, that’s great. Savannah’s not far away from Atlanta, oh I’m so happy for you”
“Thanks mom, I’m gonna love being back in Georgia, I don’t really like it here in Sioux City so it’s gonna be great”
“I’m so proud of you, ring me when you get here ok”
“Ok bye mom, love you”
I had to celebrate. I needed to go wild. I knew what I could do. I could complete my dream, today. Half of my dream was already complete – playing in the NFL. Now for the other half. I got in my rusty Ford Taurus and pulled out a map. There it was, the Mojave desert. I’d always wanted to go since I was a little boy, and this was my chance. I just remembered, Las Vegas is part of the Mojave desert, I could go there too. This was working out perfectly. But I need to do something first. I started the engine and drove up the road. I pulled in McDonalds car park.
