Nighttime
"It
ends with me looking at the script that has my name on it." Dravis
says proudly as he plops a thick script down in front of him.
It was late at night and his eyes were wearing on him. Tiffany walks
in to the study to check on him. His desk light was illuminating his
work space. She was wearing a silky white nightgown. Her hands gently
massage the back of his neck. Dravis smiles when he feels it.
"You've been working on it for so long now. Maybe you should take
a rest."
Dravis jokingly scoffs at her. "I'll be up in a little bit. Oh
and I took your advice."
"On what? Making it even campier?" Tiffany asks.
"No, no, on the names. I've been thinking up tons of names lately
and I’m still in the process of changing them, some are the same
and some are different. That’s really the last on my list of things
to do."
"Just go to bed honey." Tiffany demands in a caring way. She
then makes her way up to the bedroom. He hears her footsteps as they
turn into nothing but a quiet fade. Dravis goes back to his scripts
to review them. He then begins to think to himself.
"The others..." Dravis says to himself. "Their stories
are yet to be told."
Dravis opens up a drawer from his wooden desk. Inside were the pictures
of the cast members that occupied "Kensington Way." One by
one they made him remember everything that he had gone through. It's
what pushed him to write the scripts after all. Dravis was passionate
about his story because it happened to him. Getting "Kensington
Way" on network television was going to be a journey for him. The
pictures were making him angry and sad. It made him think of the lies
and the deception. It made him think of the pain that his fake neighbors
and friends caused him.
Sheila Wrightly aka "Shanna Schoolor" did not survive the
helicopter crash with her life partner Carla Devano aka "Debra
Braving." The conniving, vixenous, slutty, death faking witch and
her victimized forty something housewife, deserved everything that they
received, Dravis thought to himself. Dravis wondered how people would
respond to the cartoony bitch that Sheila was acting to be and how Carla
betrays Timothy in the end.
Thomas
Manheil aka "Timothy Braving" skipped town once the real police
came to the scene. Thomas explained that the space was rented out, everyone
knew they were on a reality show, but practically everyone was an actor
of some kind, even the extras. The police never knew what was going
on but thought they were filming a movie, that's what Thomas said they
were told.
I
was never really told what had happened to Bryant Cranston aka "Bryant
Barrone."
Somehow it really doesn't matter. He could be dead, alive, an alien.
However, Richard Scheiver aka "Ryley Schantz" did not survive
when Tiffany pushed him off of the cliff and he splattered to his death.
Neither did Danny Tomei aka "Terry Lomburgh" who was charred
to death because of Richard's betrayal.
Carmen
Valdarez aka "Carmen Ludiarez" was sent to jail and then sent
to an insane asylum. The city of "Kensington Way" was re-opened
but not as a reality show home, but as a real city to people wanting
to live in it. The power that she created was over, but while in her
padded cell, she still could be plotting away. No one was aware of the
evil things that Carmen did, they were all brainwashed into thinking
that the town of KW was nothing but an overly large movie set. The law
came down on her when the proper authorities found out that that wasn't
what the set was being used for something else.
Jamie
Van Wyze decided to stay with her new father and accepted her soon to
be stepmother as Dravis and Tiffany are engaged to be married. The three
have sort of become a family, in its own dysfunctional way that it happened.
Dravis puts away the pictures and stands up to go to bed. He slowly
walks over to the window and looks out of it. The city was bright in
the wee hours of the night. Dravis knew he never owned the city, but
he could only hope that people would hear and accept his story. He already
had a new manager whom he met through Thomas/Timothy. That was his present
for feeling so bad for lying. The manager's name was Jacob Desmond and
he gave Dravis his new agent, Xavier Orlando.
His
journey was only starting but it was going to be a new one. What was
it going to bring him, Dravis wonders. He then walks over and turns
off the desk lamp. Surely enough drama
would find its way to him, it always did.
