ASH
How far out should we go? ERIC
Far enough. ASH
So, what did she do, fuck someone else? ERIC She was evil, Ash. Spawned out of Hell. A witch who deserved exactly what she got. Now she's home in the Devil's playground. ASH Why do yo say she was evil? ERIC She fucked someone else.
MED SHOT: GRAVE. Ash rises out of it tossing the shovel to the ground.
ASH Is that deep enough?

ERIC I suppose.

ERIC Fuck you, Mary Beth.

COLE So, is this where it is? JOSH That's what Ash told me. CLINT Who is this Ash? JOSH Someone I met in prison last year. He was always rambling on about a guy that hired him to bury his wife. Supposedly she was a witch, into voodoo and the black arts, bullshit like that. Her name was Mary Beth. Ash tells me she was evil. COLE Is that why she was killed? JOSH No, she fucked other men. Wild orgies in her husbands bed. So, Eric killed her after letting her watch him dice up the other four men with a pic axe. He torched all their bodies in the fireplace before putting a bullet in her head. The next day he brought Ash out here to bury the body. [ Continue to page 2 ] |
