Storm Wars Lore

Episode 11

INT - Maryland Home, Evening

"Kimberly, an Asian woman in her late 20s danced over the sink in her kitchen as she washed dished. She hummed as music blared loudly through a speaker on the granite countertop, the only light coming from a small led hanging from the bottom of the white cabinet above the stove. Suddenly she felt a gentle nudge on her ankle. She looked down to see her puppy, a small golden receiver. He looked up at her with pleading eyes. She smiled"

Kim

(Bending down to pet him) Hey, bud.

"She laughs as the dog barked happily, playfully licking her face as it furiously wagged its tail"

Kim

Someone's happy to see me, huh?!

"As she stood to her feet and straightened up her music stopped, replaced by a loud ringtone instead. She walked over to the counter and picked up her phone to see who was calling. She stared at the caller ID for a moments in dread before answering"

Kim

Hey, hello?

Deep male voice on phone

I'm almost home. 

"She started to breath heavily as she heard the click of the call ending. She put her phone back on the countertop, pausing her music and going back to the sink. She shakily picked up a dirty bowl, barely able to hold onto it with her nervous shaking. Her dog whimpered as he looked up at her. Within a few seconds she heard the screech of a truck pull up in front of the house. She pushed the red curtains in front of the sink aside so could look through the window. Her eyes became wide as she watched a man in dark clothing get out of the passenger side of a dark gray Jeep, oblivious to the scolding hot water shooting out of the faucet at full blast. She could faintly make out the sound of the two men having a conversation outside"

Jeep Driver

Do I get a tip?

Man in dark clothing

Yeah, hold on, I'm going to give it to you...

"Kim watched as the man walked around the front of the Jeep to the driver side window. The driver smiled as he rolled down his window, looking out of it expectantly. Kim gasped as the sound of what seemed to be a shotgun round filled the night air, sending blood and chucks of flesh from the driver's exploded head splattering inside the cabin of the car, visible through its windows. The man opened the door, throwing the driver's headless body onto the ground and reaching inside of the truck to turn off the engine. She began to shake violently as the man started to stroll up the walkway and towards the front door. She yelped as she accidently lowered her hand into the scolding faucet water"

Kim

Shit!

"She shook her bruised hand dry as she reached to turn the faucet off. She heard the front door open. She leaned onto the kitchen sink, closing her eyes and hyperventilating as she heard a pair of footsteps walk through the short hallway beyond the door's threshold and into the kitchen. She covered her mouth as the man walked behind him, putting his arms around her waist and lightly rocking her back and forth"

Man

Hey babe, I'm home. 

"Kim opened her red eyes as he rocked her to and fro. She took a deep breath before answering"

Kim

Hey Brutus...

"Kim turned around, being greeted by Brutus's masked face. She grimaced as he closed his eyes and leaned in for a kiss. She kissed him in disgust, feeling the fuzziness of his mask rub against her cheek"
