conventional part one

he drives slowly, the school to their right.
he is ben and jacob is the other.

ben pulls over and jacob gets out. as ben pulls away.
jacob walks up the steps of the school


ben drives a long time, he turns a right at the corner
and continues driving, keeping the school to his left.
he cuts another right and drives on.

trees above him sway in the wind.
it is a nice day.

ben makes a final right and pulls up to a tennis court.
jacob emerges from the foliage in haste,
a gun swaying in his hand, blood and sweat on his brow.
he swings the passenger door open,
tosses the gun into the car:
it lands in the back seat.

ben slams on the gas and the car screeches onward.
jacob grabs a towel from the glove compartment,
he wipes the bloody sweat from his brow,
making a small stain on the towel.
he then wipes his sweaty hand off,
leaving the towel blood red.

ben keeps driving and makes a left,
putting the school behind them...
