Screenplay Excerpt

Cindy observed that the sound of footsteps came to an abrupt halt. She motioned for the team to hold.

CINDY:

“Stay put. Be on the ready, something’s going on,”

Cindy said quietly, thinking that someone might have seen the guard being pulled to the right after walking through the door. She glanced over at him thinking he was the issue.

Shaitan leaned his head to the side listening, then motioned the guards upward and they continued slowly up the next flight of stairs. Then he peeked around the wall and looked upward, he saw movement which caused them to begin firing.

FS

They received return fire and a shoot-out commenced.

 

FS REAR

Shaitan moved back and shoved bodyguards in front of him, urging them on. He knew there was only one way to finish this impasse,

SHAITAN:

“MOVE UP!”

 Shaitan yelled to his group.

FS

One of the other guys overheard Shaitan.

 

 

OTHER GUY:

“Shaitan?”

FS

SHAITAN:

“Hold your fire.”

Shaitan said and pushed men out of the way and leaned past the wall while looking up the stairwell.

SHAITAN:

“Show yourself.”

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

A New Garden Feature | Laveda D. Rockford

  A New Garden Feature Labor Day: a day set aside for special recognition of the workingman, or in this case, woman. In other words, it is a day to reflect on all of the work a person puts into their vocation. Though I have the day off, I still had to mow the lawn around my flower garden. And since I purchased a new garden feature, I had to post this about it. Purity is an especially important word in the Christian faith. The words purity and purify can be used interchangeably. Purity: the quality or state of being pure Purify: to grow or become pure or clean To honor our journey through this thing we call life, here is the new art feature in my flower garden. Life is what you make of it. You can make something good out of it or you can continue on the path that you have laid for yourself. It is all up to you. But if you decide to follow Jesus Christ, and pick up your cross and follow Him, it is a whole other life that, in the end, is well worth it. I pray that your L...

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
