The Trap by Catherine Ryan Howard @TransworldBooks

Catherine Ryan Howard brings her considerable characterisation skills to bear, creating a clever, twisted and chilling plot that left me, as ever, impressed by her skill and imagination.

I’m curious to know how the RO’s would react in this situation!

Also I adore your IF. You’ve clearly put a lot of care into it! Keep up the good work!

- Eni (Aequitas_if)

Aw thank you for the kind words, I was about to call it a day and upon reading this renewed my writing spirit.

Let's zoom in the action, so let's say the team is a chasing their mark and the RO stepped on a trap :0

(Elrick's POV)

You and the group are chasing your quarry.

"Elrick stop!" you heard Luna shouts behind you.

You did not listen and continue pursuing the target and you were doing a good job at it.

The target turned around the corner and that is you stepped on a pressure plate, sealing the exit and way forward.

Now you and the team are trapped.

"YOU FOOL!" Luna and Conrad shouts at you.

You raised your hands in surrender.

"Relax, I admit it was my fault but I know we're gonna get outta of here!" you shout with confidence.

"You mean we're the one who is gonna think a way outta here!" Luna says and raising her eyebrow.

You smirked

"Of course why bother if someone is gonna do it for me, so wake me up when you guys are done!" you say and sitting on the floor and letting the geniuses do the hard work.

Their fault

Totally fine about it.

(Serena's POV)

Getting closer and to the mark and you see them turned around the corner, while running you spotted a plate that is elevated then the rest.

"Booby trap huh?" you say and doing a impressive flip over it.

Landing on your legs and doing it perfectly until your foot sank to the ground and the trap activated, sealing you and the group in the area.

"Showoff!" Elrick says and laughing

"What can I say I like to impress!" you say and crossing your arms.

"Why am I stuck with reckless fools!" Conrad curses and studying the walls to find any weak spots to exploit.

So you started streching your muscles preparing for the chase again.

Their fault

Totally fine about it.

(Luna's POV)

You and the group chasing the target and seeing them turned around the corner, you were so close until your team mate stepped on a trap and sealing the area.

You turned around brimming with anger.

"YOU DEAD WEIGHT!" you shout at Elrick.

"Hey it's not my fault!" he says and raising his hands.

"HOW IT'S HARD TO SEE A TRAP AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR TRACKER! you roar at him furious.

"Exactly my job is to track not to spot traps!" he says and smirking, enjoying tormenting you.

"Luna enough save your energy for better use!" Conrad says and diverting your attention.

You turned around and quickly look at walls to see if it's hollow to divert your attention, if not maybe your team will be 1 short when the rest of you get outta here.

Accept death.

Making an escape plan.

(Amelia's POV)

You and the team are chasing the mark and seeingthem turned around the corner.

You were so close that is you felt your feet lowering, thetrap activitaing and sealing the area.

"OH NO, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I DON'T MEAN TO DO IT! you quickly get on your knees in front of Luna and Conrad and begging for forgiveness.

"It's fine, just don't repeat this mistake again!" Luna says in a flat tone.

"Just be careful next tie Amelia and looked at where your stepping at!" Conrad says nonchantly.

The two of them turned around and started scanning the walls.

"WHAT!" Serena shouts flabbergasted.

"WHY DOES ME AND ELRICK GET THE WORST OF IT WHEN WE BLUNDER AND WHEN CUTE LITTLE ANGEL HERE MAKES A MISTAKE ONLY GETS A LOW SCOLDING!" Serena shouts and clutching her head.

"Because Amelia admits her mistake!" Luna says across.

"And she learns from it!" Conrad says from the far end and backing up Luna's claim.

You see Elrick worshipping you.

"Oh great one teach us your ways, so that Luna and Conrad may have mercy on our souls!" he says and moving his arms up and down.

And moments later, Serena joins the worshipping.

So while Luna and Conrad finds away, you spent the time teaching your ways? to Serena and Elrick.

Freaking out

Their fault

(Conrad' POV)

You and the team are chasing the target and seeing them turn around the corner, you were about to cast your spell on them but you stepped on a booby trap and sealing the area.

"Tsk, I have made a error, please forgive me for my transgressions!" you say and bowing your head towards the team..

"What's this the The Observant Owl is not being observant isn't that ironic!" Serena taunts you.

Something snapped inside you but you kept it in check.

You smiled and at your action, you see Serena became wary of you.

"You know I can bury you here and no one will can ever find your remains!" you say and smiling even wider.

Serena raised her hands towards you and started to back away.

"Conrad, calm down!" Dustin says and getting in front of you to blocked Serena from your view.

You nod your head and started to study your surroundings.

Their fault.

Accepts death

Makes Plan

Totally fine about it.

(Dustin's POV)

You and the team are chasing the mark and seeing them turnaround the corner, you were hot on their trail until you steeped on a plate, sealing the area.

"I'm sorry, I will find some way to make up to you guys!" you say and bowing your head in shame.

"Ohhhh, I know a way!" Elrick says and grinning at your suggestion.

"Dustin help us find a way to get out of here!" Luna says and calling your attention.

"No backsies Dustin!" Serena says and clapping her hands together.

So you gulped and dreading the idea that two will conjure.

"What I have done?" you say and regretting your life decisions.

Their fault

Accepted Death.

THE TRAP  by Lena Headey

Directorial debut short film for Lena Headey, Game of Thrones’s wicked and charming queen.

Excellent directorial debut short film for Lena Headey, better known as the interpreter of the wicked and charming queen in 'Game Of Thrones'. Masterfully directed, Headey manages to express cinematographically a situation that could be considered taboo. She skillfully brings out a current female drama.

A woman of a certain age, Michelle, lives in solitude, working in her own workshop occasionally helping her neighbors who have problems with their cars. One day an intriguing and even a little disturbing young man arrives in the village. A relationship is born between the two, Michelle struggles to let go but eventually falls in love with him. In this story, the protagonist's state of mind is brought out in a skillful and engaging way through a narrative with mysterious and distressing tones.

It's a dark film that doesn't make the viewer feel at ease, this is mainly due to a sense of tension and imminent misfortune throughout the film. However, it is a tender and sensual story that makes the viewer reflect on age, attitudes, love and relationships between people.

Directed And Written: Lena Headey

Interprets: Michelle Fairley, James Nelson-Joyce, Steven Waddington

Country:  UK

Year: 2019

Duration: 32 min

ITA -->

Eccellente cortometraggio di debutto alla regia per Lena Headey, meglio conosciuta come interprete della regina perfida e affascinante in ‘Il Trono di Spade’. Magistralmente diretto, Headey riesce a esprimere cinematograficamente una situazione che potrebbe essere considerata un tabù. Fa sapientemente emergere un attuale dramma femminile. 

Una donna di una certa età, Michelle, vive in solitudine, lavorando nella propria officina aiutando di tanto in tanto i vicini di casa che hanno problemi con le loro macchine. Un giorno arriva in paese un intrigante e anche un po’ inquietante giovane uomo. Tra i due nasce una relazione, con fatica Michelle si lascia andare ma alla fine se ne innamora. In questa storia lo stato d’animo della protagonista viene fatto emergere in modo sapiente e coinvolgente attraverso una narrazione dai toni misteriosi e angoscianti.

E’ un film cupo che non fa sentire lo spettatore a proprio agio, questo è dovuto principalmente a un senso di tensione e di sventura imminente in tutto il film. Trattasi comunque di una storia tenera e sensuale che fa riflettere lo spettatore sull’età, i comportamenti, sull’amore e i rapporti tra le persone.

Regia e sceneggiatura: Lena Headey

Interpreti: Michelle Fairley, James Nelson-Joyce, Steven Waddington

Paese:  UK

#Anno : 2019

Durata: 32 min
