Start part A
Back in the present...
Anthony: And that's what happened...
Zack: I'm... I'm so sorry...
Anthony: No... It's not your fault...
Zack: That must've been a horrible experience.
...
Zack: That movie- I mean, circle video... Have you ever watched it?
Anthony: Yes, I did.
Zack: Was it any good?
Anthony: The electronics screen was broken completely, and the voices and songs were all jumbled.
Zack: Oh... So the movie was just unwatchable.
Anthony: Yes, but I still sat through it...
Zack: Oh...
Anthony: Would you like to watch it?
...
Zack: Sure...
Anthony nods and digs through a bunch of garbage, soon pulling out a laptop. He then sits on a pile of garbage bags.
Zack: Mind if I sit?
Anthony: Not at all.
Zack nods and sits beside Anthony.
Anthony: Alright...
The movie starts...
As soon as the movie begins, the audio is unintelligible, and the screen remains pitch black. Zack glances at Anthony, who is staring at the dark screen intently.
Fifty minutes later...
Zack: "I'm getting a headache..."
He thought.
Suddenly, a horrible stench fills the alley.
Zack: *Gags* What is that...?!
Anthony looks around.
Anthony: I have no clue...
He moves the laptop aside and gets on his feet.
Start part B
Anthony looks around the alley but comes back empty-handed.
Anthony: I couldn't find the source.
Anthony glances at his mother's grave. He walks over to the hole he puts his mother in and begins undiging her.
Zack: Whoa, what the hell are you doing?!
Anthony: I need to make sure Mama is okay!
Zack: That's not a good idea!
Zack tries pulling Anthony back, but his efforts are futile. Soon, Anthony makes it to the bottom.
Zack: Hey! Get back up here!
...
Zack: Anthony?
...
Anthony: Mama...? Mama's gone...
Zack: What do you...
Anthony's breath grows rapid.
Anthony: Mama.... Mama... Mama...
Zack: Hey, hey, calm down!
Anthony: MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA!!!!!!
Zack: Anthony!!
Anthony: MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA!!!!!
Zack: ANTHONY!!!!!
...
Anthony looks up at Zack, tears streaming down his face.
Anthony: Mama... Is gone...!
Zack: I noticed... Look, come back up here, okay...?
Zack holds a hand out towards Anthony. He accepts his help.
Zack pulls Anthony out of the grave and holds him close.
...
The alleyway goes silent, and only Anthony's silent cries can be heard.
A few minutes later...
Zack: Anthony... Listen... I know you don't want to hear this, but your mother is dead.
...
Anthony: I know... Did the bugs eat her...?
Zack: Probably... I'm sorry, Anthony...
Anthony: It's okay... It's not your fault...
Zack: Take your time, okay?
Anthony: I will...
Zack: Promise me that we'll meet up again soon, okay?
Anthony: Yeah...
Zack: Okay... Just take your time, okay?
Anthony: Yeah...
Soon, Zack leaves, and Anthony thinks of his future.
