A New Recipe?

                                                    Welcome and thank you for stopping by. 

 

For the last few weeks you read some stressful snippets. So, I thought it was time for some cute moments between the two childhood sweethearts, from Kaylob's point of view.

         

                                                                   Scene Set Up 

Beth Ann had just received a letter from Blake Tanner a boy she’s known since grammar school. Her nerves were fried. She knew Blake Tanner was the one guy Kaylob had always been jealous of. They were arch enemies in school. 
 Blake had always wanted Beth Ann and it was no secret. Kaylob had seen the letter drop out of her hand and hit the ground.  Beth Ann had this little habit of puttering and rambling when she's nervous.  So here's a little scene of what she's like when she's nervous.

                                
        

He continued slicing the bread when Beth Ann opened the refrigerator and started pulling everythings out. She always puttered when she was nervous, and he would venture to guess this was one of those times. He moved over and closed the fridge.

“Feeling a little nervous are we, sweetheart?”

“Uh, no. Why would you say that?”

He stared at the counter where she had pulled out eggs, a bowl of tuna, soy sauce, worcesterhire sauce, mustard and ketchup.

 He  pointed, “new recipe?”

THE POW CAMP

                     Hello everyone and welcome to Six Sentence Sunday. Thank you for stopping by. 

                                                              

                                        

                                                                    

Last week you saw Beth Ann say goodbye to her old life. She still has a hard time believing Kaylob is dead but it’s been over a year and she needs to move on. In the meantime is Kaylob is alive and in one of the worst kinds of POW camps. In book one you will experience the hell Kaylob went through at the hands of the Viet Cong. Will he survive when so many are dying around him? He hears her voice and even sees her standing in the jungle calling out to him. Is his mind slipping? Or is it possible for two people to be so connected, they feel, hear, and see each other from the other side of the world?

                                                    

                                                                                 The year 1972

Kaylob’s prison was a dank, dark hovel, matching his present mood. The air reeked of goddamn fresh rotting death and smoke from burning bodies. His skeletal remains trudged outside down the humid, crawling bamboo halls. As he stepped out into the open air, he flinched at the sunshine.  He hated the sight of the bodies that littered on both sides of the trail. Some of the guys had been buried with just their heads exposed, trying to eat their maggot-ridden food. It made him so goddamn mad. Chris, one of Kaylob’s fellow prisoners, had told him he’d been there for over a year.

Saying a final goodbye

Last week you saw Beth Ann have a vision. She was out on her first date with another man, Blake Tanner. After months of visions and dreams, Beth Ann is ready to move forward. 

Six months later she is still dating Blake Tanner and doing her best to feel love again.  She's known Blake almost as long as she has Kaylob. They had all grown up in Novato, a small town in Northern California.

Now Blake's rich, famous and America's most eligible bachelor. 

 After being on the road touring in her Broadway show, she has decided to move in with Blake in Riverside California.

 But before she does, she needs to take a trip down memory lane, back to the apartment that she and Kaylob had lived in.

  

How do you say goodbye to the love of your life? How does her heart ever let go?

     The pain ripped through her like a sheet of glass being shattered. The memories were precious, but they 

tormented her heart.

She looked down at the ring on her finger. She was starting a new life and knew what she had to do. The ring 

had been her shining band of hope, but she had to let it go. Struggling to see through the tears, she slipped off 

the ring, placed her lips against the circle of gold and gave it a kiss goodbye.

Beth Ann's VISION

Last week we got to see a snippet of Beth Ann and the first opening night of her play. Months have gone by and she is on her first date. As a matter of fact, it's the first date she's ever had with anybody besides Kaylob. She is out with America's most eligible bachelor, Blake Tanner. She's standing in the bathroom when the unthinkable happens. She feels herself being sucked away. 
       

The bathroom faded and Beth Ann found herself standing in the middle of a jungle. Where is she? Could this be real or is she losing her mind?

A dog wailed—dear God, she wanted to go save the poor animal. Then she heard Kaylob’s voice.

“Beth Ann, please, I love you.”

Mud covered the ground, but this time she was able to move. The humid stench swarmed around her, the air thick with heat. Birds squawked and other creatures continued getting louder.

“Kaylob!” she cried over the sounds of the jungle. “Kaylob, please!”

Beth Ann lands a lead role on Broadway

We left off with Beth Ann having a major meltdown. Now it's been almost one full year since Kaylob was declared dead. She has landed a lead role in a Broadway production. Her lifelong dream is happening. But the dream is bittersweet. Kaylob had always been there with her when she imagined this day. In this scene she sees her name in lights for the first time. Her heart is filled with gratitude but her heart is also empty without her Kaylob.

She decided to take a break and walk outside to see the marquee lit up with The Chorus Years, A Musical Review of Times. Her heart skipped beat and tears glistened in her eyes when she read the next line: Introducing singer actress Elizabeth Ann Rose.

Seeing her name up in lights felt surreal, she would truly be stepping into her dream. The sky was clear, and off to the west she saw some twinkling stars. She looked at her watch and her eyes filled with more tears as she gazed up into the sky.

“Kaylob, look at my name up there,” she whispered

Next week Beth Ann has a very strong vision of Kaylob. I thought I'd take you into that experience with her.

DID SHE WANT TO DIE

Last week we left off with Beth Ann chopping off her hair one strand at a time. She doesn't believe Kaylob is dead but just learned he's been missing for two months. She cut off her hair and jabbed her scalp leaving a trail of blood in the bathroom. Blood rushed down her face from the damage to her scalp. Her family and friends are pleading with her to open the BATHROOM DOOR! Now she glances at herself in the mirror and realizes what she has done.

Beth Ann stood like a weather-beaten statue, naked and dead. She had become a freak. Distorted 

images twisted and shifted in the mirror. She stared at her image and started screaming. 

The jiggling of the doorknob couldn't stop her uncontrolled agony.The door finally flung open and 

her mom cried when she saw her.

  “Oh my God. Beth Ann! What have you done?”

Beth Ann's melt down

In this scene Beth Ann fights to stand again, after being almost comatose for two months. She finally realizes that Kaylob is missing in Vietnam, although she’s been told he is dead. But she never felt him die. She refuses to believe he’s dead. But just the knowledge that he’s been gone for two months hits her in this bathroom. This is the very moment she comes to grips with the fact that he might not ever come home again. 

           After a few seconds, she opened the bathroom drawer and calmly took out the scissors, then she began cutting her hair one strand at a time.  An ominous silence swept through the room as she sliced off her hair and jabbed her scalp. From the silence came a wave of pain. The only love she had ever known had been gone for two months. In that moment, she realized all her dreams had to be abandoned. 

From the ashes of war, her love might never return.
