I leave and the kid begins to feel the puzzle and move its parts.

INT:
CHARLES' THERAPY LOUNGE. KAMILA'S SESSION.

KAMILA:

“Once I start it’s difficult to stop”

CHARLES:

“It won’t help you in the long run.”

KAMILA:

“I can cut myself now, but I’ll need to do it again in a couple of days.”

CHARLES:

“Think about the consequences, You really want to die?”

KAMILA:

“Yes.”

CHARLES:

“I think it’s easy to say that, but not in delivery.”

I stand up and tell her to follow, as we pace out the backside door, into the building stairs,

CHARLES:

“We're going to do a little test,” I say.

KAMILA:

“...”

She walks bashfully and I lead her onto the rooftop.

EXT:
ROOFTOP OF HUMAN RESOURCES CENTER BUILDING.

When high pressure and low-pressure areas come close to each other, air from the high-pressure area will move into the low-pressure area, creating wind. During the winter, Oregon is around -12, -11, and 10 celsius for each respective winter month. Zonal flow occurred to be more dominant over meridional flow at the 800-700MB level with speeds reaching 10 m/s and meridional flow at a low 3-4 m/s offshore of Newport. At the time of the secession, January was coming up, thus an early record of winter winds showed a 9.4 mph.

These winds were gushing my client’s hair off the back as she approached the ledge of the building.

CHARLES watches her, saying, “Wanna leap off. I won't stop you.”

Approaching her, I lightly tug her back, as the wind and her feet swoop her off.

KAMILA:

“I don’t want to end up in hospit-ah,” she screams.

Her mother watches below, with her palms in her mouth.

MOTHER:

“You really threw yourself off!” the mother says in disquietude.

Her daughter lands on a light blue cushioned padding encircling the building.

I meet them from another exit.

CHARLES:

Collectedly, I say, “I would never hurt either of you. My job is quite the opposite.”

KAMILA:

“I don’t want to die!” the client pleads in torment.

CHARLES:

I look at the girl, saying, “If you can let go of the need to cut yourself, it will (like any urge in life), pass through you.”

END OF 4RTH SESSION CYCLE. INT: CHARLES' THERAPY LOUNGE

The thirteen-year-old girl, Estella, retold what she read in The Art of Witty Small Talk and of Not Giving a Sh*t. Learned to use anecdotes and the ends of stories and for similarities among new people. At least that’s what she should have told me. She is probably thinking people can be better off like she is. Alone at school. She will have to learn to stay away from the quotidian qualities her parents taught. By this, I mean Stranger danger. This is a credence meant to protect her, taught by her parents. To any normal joe, this makes a person seem small, insecure, and dull. It’s better off to forget this and learn to go up to strangers and make friends.

CHARLES:

"The key is breaking out of this habit of being unnoticed. I don't mean to be popular, I mean breaking silence. Your parents feel it would help you in your depression. What is a depression than a philosophical crisis of realization of assumptions about one's life? How about trying the five ten-second rule. A name I came up with about talking to employees whose job depends on being open. Cashiers, doormen, taxi drivers, salesmen, and so on. You can mostly use it with teachers. Use five seconds to ask something as simple as ' How is your day' and have them respond, as you get more comfortable, add details.”

KAMILA:

"Well, I can comment on people, and they'll talk."

CHARLES:

"Exactly."

EXT:
OUTSIDE HUMAN RESOURCES CENTER BUILDING

The flecked boy still holding a grudge waiting two leave my building. I speak to the father, "What kind of toys does he like, what makes him smile?

"This Wild Cats cartoon."

"We decided on 180 chips for the show. I'll buy a CD of the season. That way he can watch here and at home. Once he has comfort here, we can start pairing."

INT:
CHARLES' THERAPY LOUNGE. ARMANDO'S SESSION.

ARMANDO:

"You know, Mara and I had some time together. You know maybe so will get back in the game, later on, I had to settle some turf for now. There's this weasel and been out asking me money, I doubt owe him anythang, but he's off wandering the hellbound renegade. "

CHARLES:

"Rivalry trouble?" I say not to crack his temper. "Do you feel you are no longer a threat to the women around you? Don't go stalking."

ARMANDO:

"I'll be too busy playing her, here, there, back to back." his face turns as if a clock finally ticked the correct hour in his brain. "I can be a tough nickel in her wallet sometimes."

CHARLES:

"At least you acknowledge it."

INT:
CHARLES PERSONAL QUARTERS.

I got a call from my superior. She says she wants to schedule a meeting.

INT:
SUPERIOR'S OFFICE

CHARLES:

I sit down and ask, “What's this about?“

SUPERIOR:

“We've been looking at your clients. Many are without success. One of the names is Shwarnita Gardner, who was arrested a few days ago. Just before that, we have video evidence of you pushing a client by the name of Estella. Of a leg into a cushion pad. “Her voice gets uncomfortable, “What kind of a stunt are you trying to pull off? She's thirteen for christ’s sake!”

CHARLES:

“I was merely trying to get her to see... to choose to stop pitting herself over death-”

SUPERIOR:

“Another client: Mr. Armando Reyes. Do you know what happened?”

The superiors' lovely dark features grow stern towards me. Too scared and dubious to ask, I breathe and shift about my chair.

SUPERIOR:

“He was involved in a motorcycle collision yesterday. I am afraid we are going to have to let you go. This is unacceptable.”

CUT TO AMRMANDO'S COLLISION. EXT: HIGHWAY

Armando Reyes was driving past 90 miles per hour. He drove in his lane, sliding up empty stops on the road, illegally. Tears ran down his eyes. The blacked-out helmet barely showed anything more than 2 inches of his eyes and nose. Two wheels skid across wet pavement, underneath a trailer carrying hazardous chemicals. As the truck flipped, the tank enlightened. It burned half his chin, cheek, His right foot gushing blue. The blue flame engulfed the man.

INT:
HOSPITAL BED

Lying in hospice unable to speak for six months. Nothing but a set of eyes rolling around.

INT:
PHYSICAL THERAPY REHAB

At rehab, it was one dying day after another because of fatigue and weakness he experienced after the injury. When he finally recovered, he was on one foot, and an implant on the other. Rubber, fake ankle, toes, a fake calve. Where once a tibia and fibula, now a plastic mesh.

EXT:
OUTSIDE HUMAN RESOURCES CENTER BUILDING; NIGHT

At midnight, my hoodie blends in with the marijuana dealers around the corner of the human resources center. The building was moldy and rusted from the hall end. Here is where they would meet.

Ian R. Carrillo Castro 28 October 2020 Short Bibliography If I were to write a paper about my life? What would I write? Well, this is what I would write. I am a leader, I am hardworking, and I am willing to set goals and use a creative strategy to solve it. I am a student because my parents believe it is smart to lead your kid off to a bright future. English class is always fun when doing essays because I have gotten the knack of writing them and narratives. Narratives can also be creative. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been creative. I played with legos as a kid. Regularly I would buy ones from the merchandise of a movie. Even though they did not look as perfect as the scene on the screen, I would mix them with other pieces to be more accurate. Also, I ditched the instructions and I would figure out how to construct them on my own and see where I messed up. I built my own Batcave, suits, guns, avengers tower, and so on. I used my imagination to fit my interests instead of blatantly regurgitating what was asked of me. The important aspect was that I would create my own set, and not follow the rules. Nowadays, I am still creative. I am constantly having fun doing something creative, the only problem is I run out of creativity. In the meantime this would happen, I would read a book to keep occupied. One of my skills is making 3dmodels, here are many websites to do this on.. Tinkercad for example is an Autodesk website where one can create 3D images or models. Other similar sites include: Cospaces, Onshape, Sketchfab to view 3D, and Blender. In Tinkercad, I created a suit replica of the Batman Begins with it’s closet, all three Iron Man arc reactors from the movies, and more suits. I began writing when an English class in seventh grade struck me with how exhilarating writing is. In my want to pursue writing, I keep practicing at it. I went to creative writing courses and practiced. In my research of writing, I came across the book, Story, by Robert McKee. He explains the principles of story writing in the means of a script portrayed on a film, but is still a narrative. Types of plots: none or anti-plot, arch plot, and minimalist. McKee also says researching an area relating to your book to fight clichés. You know what clichés are, the nerd won't get a girl, or the jock without a brain. My father also bought me a book of flash cards giving ways to fix writer's block. Writing a mystery is, for then the reader will solve it by reading. An adventure is one where the character will see a series of events for fun. At least this is what I thought. Not anymore. An adventure story still has a want and cost relationship. Mystery is tried down to discoveries and setbacks to the detective. Or whoever solved it. Mckee also stresses the questions and mystery must be solved by the end. Talking to others when the time arises about life and events helps bring out other perspectives. Languages I speak are english and spanish. Skills and Interests are skateboarding, boxing and Bo staff tricks, calisthenics, weightlifting, researching the web, reading, making 3dmodels, creative writing, and watching movies. In Boxing, I went through Feb 2019 to Mar 2020 on Mondays and Fridays. Maxwell's' Boxing center. The one at Miramar Rd Site. The coach would have us shadowbox after putting on the tape, then we go for a round on the punching bags. Sometimes we would practice sparring with partners. The coach would give different punches with numbers assigned to them. Each in different combinations to do that day. I have always been athletically inclined. Not that I would join leagues, but that I would exercise. Besides the gym, I started skateboarding. First learn the ollies, slide one foot, and hop with both. then practice while riding. After the ollies, move on to nollies, 180’s, 360’s and from there you have the basics. There are probably 20 types ranging from backspin, heelflip, kickflip, bigspin, along with their combinations of 180 and full circle degrees. I keep falling, but persevere. Recently I bought a Bo staff to learn all sorts of spinning tricks. It's as though a windmill lives in my arms. As an eleven year old, I always dreamed of doing this as efficiently. No matter how fast you go, what matters is that you never stop. The continuous motion and weight from the thicker end of the staff drives the spin along my hands. I played DC comics associated video games. Their characters such as Robin and Nightwing used their martial arts technique to fight, thus I became eager to learn it. I also used to rock climb. I learned there you must follow a path of the guide colors on the walls. Especially the times you must climb while your belly faces the rock toward the ceiling, with only your fingers dangling on therock's edges. Another aspect is what professionals call flagging. This is where you shift your weight to one side in order to balance out. Say I am gripping the wall, one with my right hand and the other with my ri more…
