#FirstPageFriday
Two fighting families on a yacht, a family of orcas, an enormous duffle bag of uppers, downers and sidewaysers, a dead baby orca and blood. SO much blood.
Vibe: Downton Abbey meets Jaws.

INT. COUNTY CLERK’S OFFICE, MONROE COUNTY FLORIDA - MORNING STEPHANIE and MARK, beautiful, elegantly rich, in their late 20s, sit in the gloomy bureaucratic waiting room. Their white boating togs glow with internal light in contrast to the bloodless general public around them. They touch and nuzzle to the disgust of- The CLERK behind the counter is the dark Yang to the lover’s Yin; old, hateful and sucking all the cheer from the room. LARGE MAN in a stained white tank-top, cut-offs and flip-flops ARGUES with Clerk who holds a paper. LARGE MAN He’s dead! I’m telling you he’s dead! CLERK There has been no death certificate filed, sir. Application denied. BAM! A large stamp leaves a red “REJECTED” on the paper. LARGE MAN I saw the gators eat him! CLERK According to the state of Floria, Monroe County, no death has been recorded. LARGE MAN I told the game officers! I told the police! He was eaten by a gator! Took him right off! CLERK (loudly and officiously) Forty-two! Number Forty-two! Large Man POUNDS the counter ledge, turns, and walks off, flip-flops SMACKING on the marble floor and MUTTERING. LARGE MAN That’s some real bullshit! I can’t get a death certificate if daddy was eaten by a gator? He put parental controls on the Netflix account! What am I going to do?! CLERK Forty two! Number forty two! The angry words cut through the fog of love. Movie poster: a black and white super yacht sits on the ocean. Above it, in golden yellow letters agains the light blue sky, is the title "Yacht Vs." then, below the yacht in black letters agains the angry gray sea is the word "ORCA". The title "Yacht vs. orca" resonates from the poster into your memory forever burnt there like a smell from your childhood long forgotten but reawoken.
