Midnight Reign, Ch.1 (part 2)

————————-  INT. CAMPUS

A GROUP OF STUDENTS, 18 to 25, with their laptops open, are seated in rows as they wait patently in the classroom. The PROFESSOR, 42, with a visible beard, wears a plaid vest and trousers, is writing mathematical equations on the whiteboard. Dylan is seated by himself, rapidly writing in his notebook. A scar is visible on his hand as he writes.

————————— EXT. CAMPUS 

Outside the campus steps of the campus library, the eery dark night shadows the campus, only the moon sits still illuminating vague light. The campus night lights are dim. Dylan is met with Mason, walk side by side down the steps.

MASON

So here's what I heard. Gene said they are college girls -

college girls right next to us ! We hit the gold mine!

Girls! Next to us! We should invite them over! What do you think?

Dylan?

——-—

Dylan his mind rummaging through the lecture of todays class, is alerted by Mason's sudden burst of yelling.

        —-

MASON

Dylan! God, where do you drift off to?

... What do you think? Do you think they go to our school?

DYLAN

Uh, um are you still talking about the neighbors?

MASON

Um, are you still talking about the neighbors-

Yes! Of course I am! I haven't even seen them.

It's been days! How does Gene get to know them before I do!

It's a small town, we should have seen

them by now. We live right next door!

DYLAN

Yeah, well news travels fast when you have

nothing to do and Gene has nothing better to do.

I am sure we'll seem them around soon. What does it matter?

———

Mason scoffs, dismissing Dylan's nonchalant question. Walking pass, Dylan and Mason run into CARTER, 24, tall, muscular, dressed in a beige coat, and black trousers; and his GROUP of friends walking with him.

——

CARTER

Hey, Dylan!

MASON

Oh, here we go, again. Leave him alone!

Don't you have anything better to do Carter.

CARTER

Woah, there. I just want to ask

him a question, man. You know,

just making good conversation.

DYLAN

It's alright, Mason.

Alright, what do you want to ask me?

CARTER

I just have one question. (Pauses)

What did you do on Friday night -

I didn't see you at the party..

We missed you, man.

MASON

Ignore him.

He's just messing with you.

DYLAN

I didn't go.

CARTER

Ah, what you'd do instead - get some quality

alone time with yourself, science boy!

Why don't you take a trip to the anatomy section?

You'll learn a thing or two!

—-

Carter and his friends laugh, ridiculously loud, as they continue walking.

—- 

MASON

Oh yeah - well you're a....

DYLAN

Come on, don't waste your oxygen. Let's go home.

MASON

Why don't you ever do anything, man?

You don't have to take his shit. You're better than that..

FLASHBACK BEGINS         INT. BATHROOM 

The sun papers outside the steamy window of the boys bathroom. The water is running from the showerhead. Dylan, shirtless, breathing heavily, is towering over the shower head, the running water hitting his back. He clenches a pocket knife in his hand, slashes  of water dripping red colored puddles. Peering down at his feet, the shower tiles show a puddle of water carrying a stream of blood as it escapes through the shower drain.

FLASHBACK ENDS

The content and characters are completely fictional and have no correlation to any work fictional or nonfictional. The story's content is for mature audiences as it features gory scenes of violence, death, and trauma. Like for more..

With that also said, I have written the story in a screenwriting format with the intention of visual images and have displayed it that way. I hope you can enjoy it! Check out more of my work on patreon.com/Bookshavefeelings

Old English, a collaborative poem by Jeffery Williams, Fredrick Tipton, and Darold Ferguson, Jr.

New Level A collaborative poem* by Jeffery Williams (b. 1991; Atlanta, GA) by Fredrick Tipton (b. 1982; Gary, IN) by Darold Ferguson, Jr. (b. 1988; Harlem, NY)  

Jeffery Williams 800 capsules of Molly, Just be very still, I ain’t gonna hurt anybody, Hell nah I ain't Twelve but if I like it I cop it, I met papi and he said he good at uploading wallets. Catch me ridin' with them slimes, them my youngins. Catch me boolin' with them slimes, them my youngins. I be sliming with them slimes cause they my youngins. Catch me sliding with the slimes cause them my youngins.

Chrissy Carter bezel inside my baby pampers (eww) I get off the work and let the J's snort the scale, My bitch ride slow with the yay like she get L’s, I wear that white, I cook that white, but I am not no chef. Add a little soda put the tan on it, I got the shit for my L O and my shawty want it. I drink more mud than a pig, I think porky want me, And the front of the Mazzi look like a fork don't it? Let it breathe. I'm not no rat but Young Thugger be chasin’ cheese, I want the M's and I’m not talking Micky D’s, My jewelry gold like the tokens at Chuck E. Cheese.

Old English, 800 capsules of Molly, Just be very still, I ain’t gonna hurt anybody, Hell nah I ain't Twelve but if I like it I cop it, I met papi and he said he good at uploading wallets. Catch me ridin' with them slimes, them my youngins. Catch me boolin' with them slimes, them my youngins. I be sliming with them slimes cause they my youngins. Catch me sliding with the slimes cause them my youngins.

Fredrick Tipton Slammin' with my youngin’s, Couple hundred onions, Breakin down them 20’s what you need? we got it for you, Chop a chicken down to chicken nuggets for my cluckers, Spray that Cutlass threw them Forgiato's on that motherfucker Gangsta Gibbs ho', Fresh up off the powder pan, so low on the ’94, Bitch I want that powder bag, Geekers do that zombie walk Bitch I let the chopper talk Niggas get to talking, Ch-ch-chop ‘em off like Tomahawks, Ch-ch-chop ‘em off like Tomahawks, Eight thousand capsules of molly, Yeah, sellin’ dope and robbin’, momma I dropped out of college. Yeah, jumped off on this rap shit, I’ve been one hundred solid, Yeah, police ever catch me then they gon’ catch a body. 

Jeffery Williams Old English, 800 capsules of Molly, Just be very still, I ain’t gonna hurt anybody, Hell nah I ain't Twelve but if I like it I cop it, I met papi and he said he good at uploading wallets. Catch me ridin' with them slimes, them my youngins. Catch me boolin' with them slimes, them my youngins. I be sliming with them slimes cause they my youngins. Catch me sliding with the slimes cause them my youngins. 

Darold Ferguson, Jr. One night I was in Santos, it was lit like a candle, I was fly like a bird, I had on Stüssy Bape camo. With a cutie Español, she had a booty like J-Lo, She had Jacobsen sandals, you've been trapped in the bando, She has to trap in the bando, ‘Cause her momma got cancer She can’t work in the states because her green papers ain’t legal, Fuck a "Da me un peso,” She be like "Run de un peso," Push the molly to Pedro so she can feed her abuelo. She refuse to just settle on them shoes with them red soles, And refuse to be nude in front of them dudes on that dance pole. She can’t lose she just ooze a bunch of ambition like Nepo-(lian) I could be ruler and ride the streets on my Benzo. So there she get money vicarious off her friends though, Cause a kid named Birdy look nerdy but he be after the bando, She robbed Birdy for birdies now Birdy after her head though Hold on I think I see Birdy, and Birdy killed my Cuban ho . . . 

*This was not published as a written poem but rather as a rap song under Williams’ professional name, Young Thug, featuring Tipton under his professional name, Freddie Gibbs, and Ferguson under his professional name, A$AP Ferg. The poetic sensibilities of rappers are almost always overlooked in discourse about rap and hip-hop. When I saw so much public outrage over Bob Dylan receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature I realized the public’s acceptance of rap as art and rappers as the new generation of American poets was much further away than I had hoped. Perhaps young Bob Dylan fans in the ’60’s and beyond were sick of hearing Dylan’s art referred to as merely the rantings of an angry young Jew. I am sick of hearing various rappers’ art referred to the rantings of angry young black men. Rap can be poetry. Poetry can be art. Let’s start actually listening instead of hearing only what we think we should hear.

Lyrics:

Pistols shots ring out in the barroom night Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall She sees the bartender in a pool of blood Cries out "My God they killed them all" Here comes the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For something that he never done Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been The champion of the world. Three bodies lying there does Patty see And another man named Bello moving around mysteriously "I didn't do it" he says and he throws up his hands "I was only robbing the register I hope you understand I saw them leaving" he says and he stops "One of us had better call up the cops" And so Patty calls the cops And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashing In the hot New Jersey night. Meanwhile far away in another part of town Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around Number one contender for the middleweight crown Had no idea what kinda sh** was about to go down When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road Just like the time before and the time before that In Patterson that's just the way things go If you're black you might as well not shown up on the street 'Less you wanna draw the heat. Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the corps Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowling around He said "I saw two men running out they looked like middleweights They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates" And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head Cop said "Wait a minute boys this one's not dead" So they took him to the infirmary And though this man could hardly see They told him that he could identify the guilty men. Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs The wounded man looks up through his one dying eye Says "Wha'd you bring him in here for ? He ain't the guy !" Yes here comes the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For something that he never done Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been The champion of the world. Four months later the ghettos are in flame Rubin's in South America fighting for his name While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game And the cops are putting the screws to him looking for somebody to blame "Remember that murder that happened in a bar ?" "Remember you said you saw the getaway car?" "You think you'd like to play ball with the law ?" "Think it might-a been that fighter you saw running that night ?" "Don't forget that you are white". Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure" Cops said "A boy like you could use a break We got you for the motel job and we're talking to your friend Bello Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail be a nice fellow You'll be doing society a favor That sonofab**ch is brave and getting braver We want to put his a** in stir We want to pin this triple murder on him He ain't no Gentleman Jim". Rubin could take a man out with just one punch But he never did like to talk about it all that much It's my work he'd say and I do it for pay And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way Up to some paradise Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice And ride a horse along a trail But then they took him to the jailhouse Where they try to turn a man into a mouse. All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum And to the black folks he was just a crazy n***** No one doubted that he pulled the trigger And though they could not produce the gun The DA said he was the one who did the deed And the all-white jury agreed. Rubin Carter was falsely tried The crime was murder 'one' guess who testified Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied And the newspapers they all went along for the ride How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fool's hand ? To see him obviously framed Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land Where justice is a game. Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell An innocent man in a living hell That's the story of the Hurricane But it won't be over till they clear his name And give him back the time he's done Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been The champion of the world.

I don’t even feel like this one needs to be explained, because if you can’t look at her and just know, then we’ve got bigger problems. She’s been kicking ass and taking names for the last 20 + years at the Special Victims Unit, in Manhattan. She’s the voice of the victims, and she puts her heart and soul in each case. She’s a freaking superwoman. No one can take that from her.

DYLAN CARTER (TOWN RP)

I went through so, and I do mean so many different versions of this character, lol. Not the first character, but what takes my heart on this beauty is the fact that Ms. Dylan Carter was the first ‘feminine’ muse, in which I grew attached to. Anyone who has RPed with me knows I’m mainly a male muse mun. Females aren’t my cup and tea in this community, but this demigirl definitely grabbed my heart. With a rough childhood, a prostitute mother who was killed, no father, bouncing around foster care, and facing her own addictions at such a young age, no one would think that she’d be so successful come her thirties. Adopted into a loving family that gave her a chance in life, she’d find herself acting, producing, and showrunning multiple successful projects. She was probably the most like me, tbqh.

⏰ for a character i used to hate but now love

CHRIS KELLER (ONE TREE HILL)

So, when Chris Keller was first introduced, he was no other then your normal arrogant douchebag. Now, I taken up One Tree Hill around my 6th grade year. And Naley was my biggest OTP, before I even knew what OTP was. And he was simply there to destroy them. Wasn’t a fan of his character, or whoever the hell he thought he was. Fast forward to the later seasons, and while he was still the arrogant douchebag, there was something new about him. Something I loved, his presence, and his sense of humor was much more appreciated coming forward, and I always find myself smiling when I see him now.

ALEJANDRO “ALEX” ADOLPH (SUPERNATURAL RP)

So, I honestly couldn’t think of anyone else for this category. Despite this being more of a love hate relationship, but the course of this character hasn’t always been so for me. When I picked him up, I simply loved the thought of family connections, and he had a lot of family in game. (Fast forward to the end of said RP, and we laugh about that, because said family was nothing but torture and pain.) However, at the beginning I did so little with him. I only ever went on him to get away from the other character I had who was going through hell. And he was my happy bubble (once again, laughing because at the end, he was torture and pain.) I even dropped him, for a second, and when asked if I wanted him back, for some reason, I said yes. (Honestly, I don’t know why I said yes, because I was never on him.) But I did. So it was a nonchalant thing, until there was a plot drop on him that literally screwed over so many characters for a long time to come, but it spiked my muse so hard that I could never get off him. So, I fell in love with him, but soon followed a lot of torture and pain, and honest to god, confusion because shit was everywhere and I just wanted to get him straight. This led me to hating him quite a bit, so much so to where I had wanted to kill him off. Yet, I still couldn’t let go completely. Followed by some more pain and torture, my feelings about this muse turned into a hate love kind of thing. He was a 29/1000+ old original werewolf, labeled the rebel king, and leader of his family pack. In which he never cared to be. He wanted to be free. And who couldn’t allow anyone to love him. Not the woman he loved, and definitely not his family. Had daddy issues from hell, (he also killed his father, so lol.) He drank a lot, and there was just this huge black hole inside of him, that no one could fill for him. At the end, he lost everyone he cared about.

🍒 for a character i have rp’d

DEAN WINCHESTER (SUPERNATURAL)

Surprise, surprise. Mati did play a canon character at least once in her life. Actually, I played him twice, neither for long, but it still counts. The first thing was before Tumblr, it was actually on Fanpop, and a friend of mine at the time had asked me to play him in this little group thing. At the time it was hella awkward for me, and I did not like it. The concept was new to be. So, when I came across Tumblr RP, I was put off on it too because of how much I didn’t like it back then. Eventually I gave in, and tried it, and the rest is history. The last time I took him up was in the same RP as Alejandro, while it was still a SPN/TW/TVD RP, before just becoming a TVD one. That didn’t last too long either, simply because canon characters make me uncomfortable, and I never feel like I do them right. So, definitely been mainly OCs. LOL.

DOMINIC “NIC” CARTWRIGHT (TOWN RP)

How I said I had definitely versions of a single character? This one will definitely fall into that category, in fact, I’m working on another version as we speak. But this boy, urgh. He was my Frank Delfino/Grant Ward/Dexter Morgan baby, and I fucking loved him. He had done a lot of bad things, but at the same time a lot of bad things had happened to him in return. He is actually quite a toxic person, he doesn’t know how to love correctly, and is actually pretty terrified to love. Unless you’re his kids, Nate (”nephew”), and Esmeralda (baby daughter) then he’d burn a whole fucking town down. Hell, the world, even. And I do mean this literally. He was a detective, with surgical and military experience. His birth name was Sebastian, and he changed his name at age 18 after the murder of his father. Highly dark character, with the cliche “doesn’t see anything good in himself, but there is), and he only ever killed those who had killed first. (Reference D.Morgan.)

A Milli A poem* by Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. (b. 1982; New Orleans, LA)

A millionaire  I'm a Young Money millionaire Tougher than Nigerian hair My criteria compared to your career just isn't fair, I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed through the pencil I leak on the sheet of the tablet in my mind ‘Cause I don't write shit ‘Cause I ain't got time, ‘Cause my seconds minutes hours go to the almighty dollar and the almighty power of that ch-cha-cha-chopper

Sister brother son daughter father mother-fuck a copper Got the Maserati dancing on the bridge, pussy poppin', Tell the coppers: "Ha-ha-ha-ha You can't catch him, you can't stop him." I go by them goon rules, if you can't beat 'em then you pop 'em, You can't man 'em then you mop 'em. You can't stand 'em then you drop 'em. You pop 'em ‘cause we pop 'em like Orville Redenbacher.

Motherfucker I'm ill.

A million here a million there Sicilian bitch with long hair with coke in her derriere Like smoke in the thinnest air, I open the Lamborghini, hopin' them crackers see me Like, "Look at that bastard Weezy! He's a beast, he's a dog, he's a mothafuckin' problem!”

Okay you're a goon but what's a goon to a goblin? Nothin', nothin', you ain't scaring nothin'. On some faggot bullshit, call 'em Dennis Rodman. Call me what you want, bitch! Call me on my Sidekick! Never answer when it's private, damn I hate a shy bitch -

I don't owe you like two vowels But I would like for you to pay me by the hour. And I'd rather be pushing flowers Than to be in the pen sharing showers.

Tony told us this world was ours And the Bible told us every girl was sour: Don't play in her garden and don't smell her flower. Call me Mr. Carter or Mr. Lawn Mower Boy I got so many bitches like I'm Mike Lowrey Even Gwen Stefani said she couldn't doubt me Motherfucker I say: "Life ain't shit without me."

Chrome lips poking out the coupe look like its poutin’ I do what I do and you do what you can do about it Bitch, I can turn a crack rock into a mountain; dare me! Don't you compare me ‘cause there ain't nobody near me

They don't see me  but they hear me. They don't feel me but they fear me.

I'm illy.

*This was not published as a written poem but rather as a rap song under Carter’s professional name, Lil Wayne. The poetic sensibilities of rappers are almost always overlooked in discourse about rap and hip-hop. When I saw so much public outrage over Bob Dylan receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature I realized the public’s acceptance of rap as art and rappers as the new generation of American poets was much further away than I had hoped. Perhaps young Bob Dylan fans in the ’60’s and beyond were sick of hearing Dylan’s art referred to as merely the rantings of an angry young Jew. I am sick of hearing various rappers’ art referred to the rantings of angry young black men. Rap can be poetry. Poetry can be art. Let’s start actually listening instead of hearing only what we think we should hear.
