Story #22 - Eternal Fight

Hello everybody! This week's story is written as if it's a screenplay. It's not going to be like an actual screenplay, though, because I don't know the technical terms for camera positioning and stuff. But I thought it'd be fun to try out the screenplay style of writing. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Title: Eternal Fight (other ideas are like chocolate to me)
Warnings: Some bad language
Summary: A couple fights.
Length: ~1,250 words
Notes: Point of view is kind of difficult with screenplays. I guess third person. Genre is drama. Also I'm going to state screenplay as a genre, to set it apart. Tense is present, typical of screenplays.
