Two clowns are
performing the end of their show at their factory. It involves conveyer belts heading
towards blades and machinery picking the clowns up by their clothes. One clown
gets more laughs than the other and the boring clown is very jealous.
The clowns pack up
their show and get the next days show set up ready to go. The boring clown is
giving the funny clown evils and then notices a tube of super glue behind him.
Her eyes widen and she hastens to finish her work, not noticing that she has dropped
something on the conveyer belt
The clowns are going
to bed and the funny clown takes his wig and nose off and puts them on his
bedside table. Some time later, early morning, a hand sneaks up with the super
glue and puts some in the wig.
The next day, the
clowns are performing their show. The funny clown trips over the mess the
boring clown left and stumbles over, getting his wig caught in the side of the
conveyer belt and heads towards an ugly death. The boring clown realises what is
happening and jumps up to try and get him free. She pulls and his shoes come
off, so she scrabbles to grab his ankles and pulls some more. The audience have
been laughing but now some of them look concerned as the clowns get dangerously
close to the blades at the end of the line. Both clowns are freaking out, the
funny one having no idea why this is happening, the boring one realising that
she doesn't want to be responsible for her partners death (in front of such a
large audience). Finally both clowns go flying backwards down the belt and
tumbling off of it on to the ground, the audience stepping back. Everyone
stares with shock at the funny clown. The funny clowns wig and
scalp hang from the conveyer belt and are dragged slowly into the blades.
This is really well written, I can picture the ending already! Perhaps you could utilise the clowns getting ready to provide a bit more back story? Other than that I think you've got a great piece here and I can't wait to see it as a finished product!!
