Single Scene Script Sessions, Mick’s Realization Scene

Hi guys, welcome back to Big Blog Theory, I hope you’re all doing well. I have something very special in store for you lot today . I have written a scene . I do this thing where I write small 5 minute scenes in my free time, these scenes have no relation to any of the stories I’m writing, they’re just single scenes that tell beautiful stories . The one you’re about to read is a scene which is called Mick’s Realization. This a scene from a story called The Boy’s Final Journey, which is a story that I’m thinking of writing very soon. I took some inspiration from the film, Third Star, which is one of my all time favourite films, I love it so much . It’s very emotional and it makes me want to cry, it really tugs on your heart strings . In this scene, Mick is with his friend, Jim and they’re just having a chat whilst watching the trees swaying in the breeze and they’re just taking in the scenery around them. Mick is very sick, he’s terminally ill with Cancer and in this scene, he realises that he hasn’t got very long and he realises that he’s not gonna be around for long because eventually, the cancer is gonna take control and it’s gonna swallow him up . I wrote this scene two days ago. The idea came to me in my sleep, but that’s a story for another day. I’ll upload the scene down below so you can read it .

{Warning, this script is very emotional, have a box of tissues just in case you lose it}

{ Mick and his friend, Jim are outside, sitting on the floor and they’re watching the trees swaying in the breeze}

Jim} Yeah, Bill has got the hump again .

Mick} So you’ve said .

Jim} Yeah, they keep saying that they’ll run each other up a mountain or something, I say let them do it, if it’s gonna help in any way . You see, the thing is, is that they don’t know when to stop. They just keep going .

Mick} Hm, wish I could keep going .

{ Jim looks at Mick for a second}

Jim} Oh, I’m not gonna take it anymore. I can’t bare seeing those two fighting, I can’t bare it. We come on this camping trip and this is what happens . We’re supposed to get on, not decide who would be the first to end up in a bloody coffin . { Mick interrupts}

Mick} The 25th.

Jim} Ay ?.

Mick} The 25th, they told me I was gonna die on 25th. { Something rushes over him, he realizes that tomorrow is the 25th}

Mick} I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die yet, I’m not ready to go. { He hugs Jim and he starts crying}

{ The last shot is of them hugging really tightly}

End of scene.

Ok, so this is the scene I wrote. It’s really emotional and you really feel sorry for Mick and all of his friends . Mick is absolutely terrified because he realises that his death day is right round the corner and he doesn’t wanna die yet. It’s absolutely heartbreaking . I was crying whilst writing this. It even made me cry and I was the one who wrote it. I guess that’s the power of screenwriting, haha . I hope you all liked it. Have a nice day / night, wherever you are, love you. Much more to come on Big Blog Theory .
