Private Project

Paper Scissor Rock

A drama epic of hypocrisy, truth, and redemption.

After the nightfall, two bullies begin to harass their innocent friend, David. Bully 1 conducts the scene. His unstable mindset, accompanied by anger issues, which is distraught in the pleasure of assault and mean superiority gets explored by throwing rocks at this weak, miserable soul. The dawn comes. The conspiracy gets unveiled, and the forerunning Bully is now an outcast; expelled from school. He contemplates the bitter outcome, discrepancy in the world; how the other bully escaped the judgement. Meanwhile, a mere pedestrian, Jacob, offers the wretch a consolation. However, for evil, good words can't merely exceed their potential as a poison. With Jacob as the new target, the Bully maneuvers his scheme to quench his thirst for violence. As he cuts the throat of the paper model of Jacob, he swears that his hypocrisy will soon be synchronized to an anti-redemption.

Men, Disaster, and Sin: Paper, Scissor, and Rock.

“Action speaks louder than words.”

Or... the Book of Anti -Genesis.

(Hence why the title is deliberately written in a verb form rather than its ubiquitous noun fashion.)
