318. The Ring - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. BOXING RING - DAY


• The old boxing ring is dark, sunlight pushing its way through windows thick with dust.


• The seats surrounding the ring are folded; they drip with cobwebs and the waste of years past.


• The sounds of thudding reverberate from the ring.


• EVAN O'MALLEY is a thick, intimidating man; even more intimidating in his boxing trunks and gloves.


• He glistens with sweat as he pounds away at JOSH PATRICK.


• Josh is an even larger man, with thick muscles.


• He stands in a bloodied t-shirt and jeans, doing nothing to fend off Evan's blows.


• Evan is staggering, but with a sharp yell, he launches a barrage of vicious blows against Josh.


• Josh staggers, but won't even raise his bare fists.


• He shuffles towards Evan and tries to hug him.


• Evan pounds away and Josh falls to his knees.


• Evan doesn't stop, now kicking at Josh.


• Josh staggers up and despite a blow to the stomach, stumbles towards Evan again, attempting to hug him.


• Evan works to keep pouring his remaining energy into his devastating blows while Josh continues to stagger towards him attempting to hug Evan and being battered back.


• The strange, horrifically beautiful tango continues over and over again like an infinite loop.


• FADE TO BLACK.
