<@&698916665710215209> The OPC is a weekly event, challenging all to write and submit a single page corresponding to that week's Elements. While the page needs to be enjoyable on its own, it does not need to be a complete story.

All entries must be standard screenwriting format and must not include a cover page. Entries based off of existing work will be disqualified on weeks with prizes.

Last week @tranquil python took top prize , congrats!

It's been a while since I last did one of these. Forgot how difficult it is to condense an idea into a single page.

Fun stuff! I love ||the triplets angle, and I think that really lends itself to creating a distinct character within the limited page space (I got the impression that each triplet had a "thing," and his was that he was rich, especially with the name pun on Maxamillion, which I appreciate). I would have loved to get a sense for what the other two triplets are like, especially Maximus, who seems to have gotten his brother into a really weird situation, and I'm begging to know why.||

Ooooh, this is so spooky!!! ||these flashbacks really convey info in such a concise yet vivid way -- I totally saw this in my head. And such a great way to build suspense with that cliffhanger, hiding information just like any good horror. The only note I can think of is that if you could find the space I would have loved even one detail on how the man in the stretcher at the beginning looks (claw mark? eyes gouged? etc.), would have helped build suspense/the picture of what the monster looks like for the audience||

lol, hilarious ||what a roller coaster of beats in such a small amount of space. the twist, the guilt, the second twist, chefs kiss. I would love if the bartender could give an explanation as to why this place is so popular (bad example, but something like: "everyone just comes to a bar just to feel something, right? well at O'Breins, you can feel the most something you'll ever feel, guaranteed!"), but seriously funny stuff!||

# bold dune This was a fun prompt, thanks!

I love your interpretation of "trap" and "target." ||Also, working with clear archetypes makes the page super easy to follow along, which keeps the story from being muddied, which I appreciate. ||

Had some fun with this. I find these challenges are getting a little easier, as far as fitting a whole scene into a short space. Always open to thoughts and suggestions!

Yes, I know there is a typo (scrapping instead of scraping). I can't remove the attachment to this specific comment and upload the new/corrected version, so it stays, but I am aware of it.

I got really nervous reading yours that somehow we were going to have the same idea, since I wrote mine before reading other's work. Then I saw your twist and was like "whew". Good job, I was not expecting it.
