White Trash Blues

by Dex Panthenol

FADE IN

As the scene opens we see a dog-eared G.E.D. certificate on a simulated knotty-pine wall where it is lovingly held in place with snippets of duct tape. We hear Outkast playing on the boombox just below it.

The unshaven man just outside the warped screen door has an excellent mullet peeking from beneath his ventilated faded blue vinyl baseball cap. The cap and his sleeveless gray T-shirt have only a few fairly recent stains and both are fashionably trimmed with the logos of popular heavy-equipment companies.

Many of the man’s tattoos are spelled correctly.
