FireFighter: plot

Here is the script section for the Firefighter.

Script:

Just another normal day for PS114, a school within a regular suburban neighborhood where James lives. James is an average nine year old fourth grader with a not so average imagination. Today is Career day over at PS111 and as James sits within his chair, he is presented with various career possibilities. A Firefighter, a Police Officer, and the good old Shop Keep. Watching all the men dressed up in stereotypical uniforms of whichever career path they are portraying, lined up against the front of the class room. The Teacher, Miss Rosemary, is about to finish her speech about why these men are here and why it’s important to see what could become their futures later in life. This of course is less then captivating for the youngsters as they wait for the clock to hit the end of their school day. James, listening slightly, looks up from his note book doodles and scans each of the career archetypes presented to him and the rest of his classmates.

Miss Rosemary gives the floor to the Firefighter whom is the first in line. “Hello, my name is Ned Grossman, and I’m a Fire Fighter…” The words linger within James' ears, as he thinks to himself “a Fire FIGHTER eh?” Seeing himself as such he transforms from a 9 year old kid to a 29 year old Fire Fighter standing with an ax in his hand. A roaring fire grows in front of 29 year old James as he looks around his surroundings and at himself with eyes of wonder and excitement. This is interrupted by a loud scream coming from the flames. James' face turns from glee to shock as he doesn’t know what is within the fire. A lone slender figure starts to come out and appears to be a fire demon engulfed in flames. Screaming, the fire demon runs towards James and with great reflex James swings his ax which cuts off one of the demon’s arms. James goes for another slash but the demon is quicker this time and kicks James back towards a crumbling wall. Before James could get fully up from this attack, the demon collects a massive amount of air and blows fire in James' direction. Panicking, James covers his face with the edge of his coat.

After the fire blast clears, James realizes that his clothing is fire proof and smirks. While still holding his jacket open, he sees several glass orbs containing water within them. Unclipping one off of his coat, he throws it towards the demon who watches it as it drops right in front of his face and explodes causing water to spray all over the demon, gradually dissolving him. As the demon is on his knees and watches James come in for the final blow, James can hear “Thank you Ned” followed by clapping. Snapping out of his world, 9 year old James comes back to the Career oriented class room, noticing the teacher is watching him in disappointment.
