VIRTUOSITY
byEric Bernt
THIRD REWRITE August 24, 1994
Two men bolt recklessly through a downtown street. Hunters
hot on the trail of their prey in an urban jungle.The sidewalk is crowded with people. So is the street. Too
many people, not enough cement. Los Angeles, 1997.Summer, probably August. 103 degrees. Heat shimmers off the
horizon. Making the sky look peculiar.The men keep running. Passed a GUY sitting at a bus stop,
watching a television in his lap. YOU HEAR the NEWSCASTER.NEWSCASTER (V. 0.)
