Meeting Room Mystery

Title: Meeting Room Mystery

Fade in:

EXT. OFFICE BUILDING – DAY

A sleek glass building under a bright sky.

Cut to:

INT. MEETING ROOM – DAY

Karen, 40s, stands over a laptop, frowning. An unopened box of donuts sits on the table… minus one donut.

KAREN
(speaking to herself)
I put twelve in here this morning. Twelve.

KAREN (CONT'D)
Could’ve been Dave… he always smells like glaze.

KAREN (CONT'D)
Tomorrow, I’m watching this box all day.

Just then, the LAPTOP SCREEN flickers — the office’s security camera shows Karen herself earlier that morning, sleepily taking a donut… and eating it.

She stares at the footage in stunned silence.

KAREN (CONT'D)
…Well, at least I caught the culprit.

Fade out.

Easy Blackout Poem

An Act Of Kindness

An Act Of Kindness 

In a far off galaxy, on the third dwarf planet in a binary star system, on a large mountainside, in a small village square, Eli, a humble carpenter, mended a broken cart wheel. 

A cloaked figure approached. Earlier, he had calmed a rearing horse, helping the distressed rider—a graceful woman. That woman returned and revealed herself as the princess.

“Eli,” she said, her gown shimmering, “I owe you my life.”

Stunned, he replied, “Your Highness, it was nothing.”

With a smile, she offered him a job in the royal palace. “Your talent deserves recognition.”

His heart racing, Eli looked up at her, knowing this simple act of kindness could change everything. “I humbly accept,” he said, a spark of hope igniting within him.

English Grammar Question

Why is English Grammar so hard? I get it. Oops. Don’t end a sentence with “it.” Oops, I did it again. And another thing. Wait, cannot begin a sentence with “and.”

Oh boy. Taking a break before the Grammar police start correcting me for something that they know and assume that everyone else should know.
