“Hey, shall we make a video of our town”

 I was in my moms house playing ‘ASS’ with my cousins. A card game of both strategy and luck. It was my brother he looked a bit energized when he said that, the game isn’t a good time killer if the players depend on luck all the time.

“What the heck are you sayin’ bro, we are not supposed to go outside. It’s quarantine remember.”

“Then, why the heck are we in our moms house if we are supposed to be in our homes.” I gave that look to my younger brother Tim who said that.

Cooper said, “Yes, why can`t we make a video of Weiden

   The place where the great Mount Clover stands  

   The town of apples and peace

   The town which binds itself with nature

   The ….”

“Tha.. Tha.. Tha.. Th..   stop .. stop…”

 I paused him right there, cause I knew where he was going.

“Guys, we are not plannin’ a documentary here… are we?”

“Heck no… not a documentary.” Said Vaneloppe.

“What we do should look like a ZAP!!” that was Marcus from my left. 

“Exactly, something like zap, 

     something like a jet that swifts,

     something like a sea wave where the viewer sits to           watch it over and over,

     something that would blow everyone’s mind,

     something …”

“Will you please stop with the ‘SOMETHING’, my ears are burnin’ in here.”

That was aunt Lyza yelling from the kitchen, my sound’s a bit pitchy.

               “something good” I said quietly.

“Okay, but who’s gonna pay the bills?” Williams kept that rock in front of us.

Chris slashed it by saying, “ There aren’t any bills birdie, cause we have Michael’s cam and Gaby’s laptop we can do it with them.”

“Ya, they are the best what we have.” Said Marcus.

“But, I have online classes.” Said Gaby.

“We’ll use your spare time to do the editing, Sissy.” I pushed her down with that.

“I’m in”

“I’m in too” said Marcus and Vaneloppe.

“Tony… Tony… are you day dreamin’ again, it’s your move broh. Gosh this guy’s a sleepy head.”
