Violet

INT. WAITING ROOM. DAY-

A grey haired woman sits on a couch facing the camera talking head style (When Harry Met Sally inspired).

Violet

When people ask, and they don't as much anymore, I usually say I'd imagine life is a lot slower for me. A lot simpler. I go grocery shopping, I knit, I have time to have my routines. I honestly feel a little bad for these spandex-ed freaks. I say that with love of course, if anyone's the freak, it's me.

CUT TO:

INT. GROCERY STORE. DAY-

Violet at the grocery store. She drops a cucumber and before it can touch the ground, twelve masked superheroes super speed to catch it, accidentally running into each other and crushing the cucumber.

Violet nearly falls over before they all catch her.

Violet (VO)

Yeah, it can get a little annoying sometimes. Since all these weirdos were born with immortality, I'm pretty much a God to them. They all stayed 22 years old while I grew up. I think the group created to protect me has gotten a little out of hand, however.

CUT TO:

EXT. BURNED DOWN CHURCH. DAY-

Hordes of spandex-ed superheroes wearing the letters "HPV"shout and scream at a group of other spandex-ed superheroes wearing the letters "HIV".

Violet (VO)

I don't understand why the Help Protect Violet group can't convince the Help Insurrect Violet group to stop burning down churches. I'm Jewish for Christ sakes.

CUT TO:

INT. WAITING ROOM. DAY-

Violet looks down at her hands.

Violet

I've always seen myself as the lucky one. Everyone else has this idiotic need to prove themselves and I'm just Violet. Always have been always will be.
