HIDDEN TREASURE

     

Characters: Tim, Kim, and Joy

They’re learning how to dive.  They’re going to get wet.  For sure.  They want to get wet.  Definitely.  Why do they want to get wet?  They’re happy.  They want to find the money.  They’re by the ocean.  Jumping and having a heck of a time.  Who else is with them?  Probably their family.  This ocean is close, but I don’t know where.  It looks like it’s, let’s see.  I’ve never jumped into the ocean.  The ocean is in a girl’s hands.  She’s going to hide it in the bottom of the ocean.  That’s a good place to hide it. 

 

I think there are three boys with the family and they’re all having a heck of a good time.  To me what they would be doing is getting ready to jump in the water.  Their family says “be careful.”  Put on their bathing suits.  Except the middle guy forgot because he’s got lots of stuff on.  He didn’t put his bathing suit on.  Why didn’t he put his bathing suit on?  He wanted to fill it up with money. 

 

Another group.  They’re family.  Are they brothers?  Probably.  Are they triplets or what?  I don’t know.  They’re family.  That one’s scrunched up a lot. They’re all different ages.  I don’t honestly know.  The youngest one it seems to me that he’s got his pants on.  I just hope that they have a heck of a time going with their family.  I can’t even see that.  I know mine is just like yours. 

 

They’re jumping off a dock.  What’s behind the ocean?  A big rock out in the ocean.  It’s on the shore.  They look like they don’t know what they want to do.  Perhaps they’ve already spent the money.  It’s not like they went to the dime store.  I think the family spent the money.  I don’t think they have a sense of money yet.  If we look, we’ll find it. 

 

What’s their family doing?  One family.  They’re probably watching.  I think it’s three different families and they’re going to shuffle the money around so no one finds it.  That’s what they’re going to do now.  They know where it is so they can put stuff in.  They look like they’re having a good time.  They have a big rock to cover it up.  Try to find money under any ocean.  How do you know this is the place where they did it?  I don’t even know why I’m saying this.  I don’t know if they did it.  Does their family know where the money is?  I don’t know.  Not until after almost the whole story.  Let’s wait until the end. 

 

If they told three different families and they had any other kids they could tell someone else and it’d be all over.  That would not be a good idea.  They’re saving the money for a Cadillac.  They’re all big boys and they want to drive a fancy car.  Do they have enough money to buy just one? No, I doubt they have enough money because of how they’re advertising it to us.  I don’t understand. 

 

Let’s change Joy’s name to Joey.  That’s more likely it. 

 

They’re down near the shore.  When they go to Florida, the weather is warm.  It’s not warm out today, is it?  I’m not very warm.  Why would it warmer there than we are?  I don’t know.  How far are we from the ocean?  I don’t know how far they are, but most people go to the ocean to have a good time.  Will we get a trip out of this?  We could make up a lot of stuff.  But most people go to the ocean to have a really good time.  And them three boys, that seems to be what’s happening. 

 

What do these boys want more than anything in the world?  They want three boys that can run with them.  What good’s it do them?  It does a lot of good for them.  I can’t see that it would do them any good. 

 

The ocean is beautiful.  They can hide behind a big rock.   How far could they get away?  I don’t know where they live, and do they have any equipment to get away in? They would need a fast car.  Probably a racecar. 

 

I can’t even imagine three boys wanting one Cadillac.  They’d need three.  They’d go in three directions.  What color Cadillac?  Red, white, and blue.  Nah.  No, I think the boys already have decided on having it.  Looks like they’re way out in the ocean for the boys to be able to jump off the highest place.  Must be deep water there.  Maybe it’s a dock far out in the ocean.  Kids don’t have any sense. 

 

What animals might they see? There won’t be a cow. 

 

But maybe a car parked on the highway, stuck out that way that they’re going to use.  There’s three of them, so they’re going to go in three directions.  They must be pretty smart to do things, or pretty dumb so they’ll get caught. 

 

I don’t think they’re interested in fish.  Yes, I think they are.  What kind of fish do they see?  Big fish. I wouldn’t want to see one of them.  You’ll get your hand taken off. 

 

Well, they don’t have much farther to go.  What else should we say?  That they’re bad boys.  They’re going on a lark.  To see how much they can do and what they can spend.  They’re going to buy everyone a present.  They stole the money.  They cooked up something.  Especially where the girl was.  Where was the girl?  I don’t know.  She was just teaching them how to dive, maybe.  Where would she get it?  She must make a lot of money as a teacher.  That’s a joke.  They’re on a lark. 

 

Does their family know they have all this money?  I doubt it.  The parents don’t know where they’re going.  I didn’t know where my kids were half the time.  I imagine they don’t.  They’re going for a swim and they came around here.  All the people are here.  I think this is a family outing.  That might be.  What do three boys in one family want a Cadillac for?  Well, it’s not so much the Cadillac.  What is it then?  It’s just they are wanting their own Cadillac. 

 

Where are they going to go after they swim?  They better swim four hundred miles.  They’d go home to bed and sleep.  They’re in Florida or some place we don’t know about.  They could fly in three different planes.  But they’d be afraid to take the money with them.  They’re probably smart enough to put that money away and then act like nothing happened for several months and then go and spend it. 

 

I was saying to my husband how much fun it was to do something special together.  But it’s especially nice and I did find a few things. 

 

Maybe these kids didn’t do it.  Maybe somebody else did.  That’s a good point.  What about these kids planning to do it with some girlfriends here and there?  Maybe the girls did it.  That might be true.  They might not have hid it very far.  Just going about business like nothing happened.  Well, I think I would try to stop them from stealing it if I could.  The boys are planning to trick the girls. 

 

Anything hidden in the water is not very safe.  And there’s a lot of fish in a place like that.  And the fish haven’t had anything special.  The fish would spend the money on earrings. 

 

Okay, now what?  Shall they play? These kids didn’t have anything to do with it.  I don’t think that they planned to do it.  But they did do it.  Oh yeah.  I don’t think they planned anything like that.  They’d divide too much of it.  How much did they steal?  I have no idea.  I don’t think it was somebody that was wealthy they stole from.  I think it was someone who wanted something they couldn’t afford themselves. I don’t think so. How much did they get?  What did they get?  They hid it in the rocks.  I think it’s a lot of bull.  In the first place, three guys knew where the money was and the three guys wouldn’t trust each other.  In the second place, there was a girl involved.  In the third place, anything could happen.  That’s right.  I’m froze.  I couldn’t even run if I had a bag of money. 

 

How does this story end?  How long does it have to be?  Find the three boys and kill them.  I’d be tempted to if they were mine.  I’d be tempted, but I wouldn’t do it. 

 

Let’s look at it this way.  In the first place, I’d make them return the money.  Well, she has the money.  What would you do if you knew your three boys had done something like that?  Why would you go with the boys?  I’d go find out what the people they stole the money from knew about it.  Maybe I’d ask my boys to share it with me.  Would those boys be yours?  I would be very mad.  Why?  Because they stole money.  Suppose it was a girl who had the money and the boys knew that she had the money and they were following her around.  I don’t know.  What would you do?  I’d call the police to follow my own kids.  Even if it’s my own kid.  If they do something like that in the early ages it’ll get worse later.  Probably.  And why does a girl who’s real wealthy to begin with still have that much money?  Why would the girl not give the money to them to begin with?  Why don’t we wait to see what really happens.  Should nothing happen to them? 

 

I think it’s like a family outing.  The story ends with them going home to their family.  Absolutely. 

 

They should be scared to death because of the police.   What if you had five or six thousand dollars?  I’d be happy.  Me, too.  What if the money was hidden and one of your friends knew where it was?  What would you do then?  I’d call the police.  The police would think you stole the money.  What if I saved up five thousand dollars?  Over my whole life.  Well, these people aren’t very old.  They couldn’t have saved up five thousand dollars. There has to be a connection somewhere.  The girl and boy might like each other.  What if the girl had part of the money and the boy had part of the money and he wanted all the money and somebody stole from somebody part of the way.  That’s what I set up. 

 

How can we straighten it out?  I’d contact the FBI and tell them all that had happened.  There’s some reason why those people are involved.  If I had five thousand dollars I’d want to know more than if they had a good time or not.  That’s quite a bit of money.  Give me some, okay?  If someone knew, they should call the police.

We’ll see in the paper tonight.

LUCKY DOG

Marion and Suzanne are running away. It looks like a nice boy coming this way. She’s a happy person, maybe going to Las Vegas. And she’s smiling because she’s going to Las Vegas. Suzanne, the woman behind Marion, is an older woman. She looks like she is really happy about wherever she is going.

That’s another woman behind her? Yes. Oh, bullshit.

Halloween here we come. She looks very exuberant and happy. Really happy. I have to piss. Where are we? I don’t want to make up any story. Seems to be in an area there is might be going to Las Vegas. They’re smiling. Maybe they’ve never been to Las Vegas.

Alone. Alone. Alone. No paper to crumble up. They’re running toward place, not away from one.

“I can’t believe we’re alive,” Marion says. There’s a car in the yard. Money falling from the sky: “Yahoo!” “Hallelujah!”

It’s in Florida. It’s in Las Vegas. If people were going towards it they would be happy. It could be a open field running very happy maybe they are going to Las Vegas.

Looks like a field. Looks like they’re exuberant happy.


The dog’s a happy fella. If he stands in front of that fan, he’s a happy fella. In my times I didn’t have a fan like that. What the heck is the dog’s name? Jeff. Is that an animal?

There’s also on the side of the road, buildings. Three or four buildings. Maybe somebody is coming to see them. Is Marion going to bring Jeff with her? Maybe. Maybe she’s running trying to catch the dog. It’s thundering. She might be catching the dog. That’s a cute little dog. In her hand, that could be a leash to hold the dog.

Thunder and clouds. One is older—the one in the front is older. Maybe they’re mother and daughter. She’s holding a leash and the older one is in the back.

So many people take up potatoes. Good point. There are no cars. I can’t say why there are no cars. I would say they get along. Yes, they seem to be exuberant.

Behind them there’s a highway like that and another highway like that. Like an intersection. I’ve never been to Las Vegas.

Where are they coming from?

They came from this farm. No it wasn’t the farm. They wondered if that was his mother and father, and then we all like to cross our legs. I like the dog.

Would you tell me what we’re doing?

It’s a cute picture. If they make it to Las Vegas, take me. Take me for a little while.

They do nothing on the farm. They’re very busy on the farm. There’s not much I remember. Lot of houses it seems here, also a car, and people in the houses.

I’ve never been on a farm. Jeff the dog lives on the farm, maybe. See you pushed me into that now. I think this dog is an exuberant dog.

He’s a lucky dog, for sure. Wherever he is. He likes to wet the floor. The posts are here and the road here and a truck over here. I believe that this is a pretty picture.

I’m sure and then I’m not sure.

I hope the farmer is taking his farm and making it good. Good thing and that’s about it. I have no idea the age of her husband. He’s so big eared. The dog. To me it’s bad to take a dog to Las Vegas.

Let’s say we put it this way.

BABY IN VEGAS: The Story of Johnson, Shara, and Betty

I don’t think it’s a hotel. No, this is a home. This is my home. Betty is sitting kind of funny. She’s reading a newspaper. Makes me think of my mom who cut my hair. Kids were all cutting their hair and I didn’t want mine cut.

They’re all talking to one another I believe. Are they deformed? This one looks like she has a thing on her hair like she’s trying to dry her hair. How come you always want to cut your hair? She’s holding a newspaper—they must be having a conversation. I put my two daughters in there. They’re asking questions. Shara and Johnson are asking questions.

Why my momma had my hair cut off, I don’t know; it was pretty. Maybe someone cut Shara’s hair. It looks kind of cute there, too. Oh my land, felt like I was being crucified when my momma cut my hair. She looks like she has a newspaper.

I wonder why they didn’t have a third person. The person who was in the empty chair accepted whatever these people were offering. Johnson is offering something.

Here’s an outline of a hanging on the wall. This must be a kind of room where they make things look alike. Here it seems to be longer over here on the side. There used to be a fireplace, it’s possible. Looks like a bar now. They changed the fireplace into a bar. Men like to go to bars. What’s that guy got in his arms? I think he’s holding his coat.

I think he’s holding a dog. Where do you see a dog? Is this dark hair woman as pretty as the blond? She’s a pretty girl. These people are all friends. Is that a person back in there? Could be standing in an unemployment line. I can’t see for sure. Maybe it’s a friend back there.

Johnson is complaining about her. He’s like her father. He’s old enough to be her father. She’s holding her stomach like she pregnant. Not if he’s the father. Who is the father? “Are you pregnant?” he asks her. They are having a conversation about many things. This girl is really attractive. He has a physique. She’s complaining because Betty is so attractive. Unexpected things happen, like if they’re really married and she’s going to have a baby and this other woman is really pretty, and that part of her hair is pretty. It looks like it’s pretty long.

Somebody might be coming in this side. The door is kind of like there are different…1, 2, six, like six pieces of posts. These look like windows. This picture hanging on the wall to me is like Iceland, looks like in Iceland. The outline is like Iceland. Johnson, Shara, and Betty do like to travel. A lot places. United States. Nevada. I never have been to Nevada. I’m looking for snow. She wants to go to Las Vegas. I think it would be especially fun to go to Las Vegas.

They are in Las Vegas. Maybe that gal’s not pregnant, but just lost a lot of money. Cut her hair out of anger? Right behind her is a bar, and a door so you can go get more to drink. They’re talking about money. Unmarried girl and pregnant. All kinds of crazy things could be happening. She’s cute too. Why is she sitting that a way? She might be some sort of cripple. She’s sitting here, but then it looks like someone fell down.

They had a fight.

She’s really cute.

They are having a good day on this occasion.

They seem to like themselves. They’re going on vacation. It’s really cold in Iceland, and so they’re going on vacation to Las Vegas or South America. I’m going to go to Iceland in about a month or so. It’s still not so cold. They’re not all going together because I don’t think there’s a man with Shara. They’re going on vacation. Betty might have started out with someone. She’s going to South America. Is there anything exciting in South America? Why not? Just being there.

She acts like she’s pregnant and trying to explain away why she isn’t, and that’s a bar with entertainment. Why did they cut her hair off? They didn’t do it to make the picture. There must be another person involved. This man in the white coat back here. The father of the baby of this one. This is a young person. Seems like the place to go when they’re having trouble. I wonder who’s in the back here. I’ll bet the kitchen is back through this door. Possibly, someone’s in the kitchen. There’s noise in the kitchen. Cooking something really good. Some delicacy. Quick and easy. Probably don’t know what to eat anyway. They’re probably half drunk.

I can’t see that up in there. This is a continent of America but it could also be Iceland. This is an adventure place. If I went to Las Vegas I’d be going there to play cards, wouldn’t care what the others wanted to do. I imagine they’re good at cards.

I think this woman has a towel on her head to dry it.

She’s trying to pick up a man.

Not me.

She got caught.

I like to read books about all that stuff.

She’s in a place where they’ve done something bad. They never show the good parts of the thing. They always show the bad parts. Some sexy book she’s reading.

What’s this door here for? Back in here’s the bedroom. I think. Don’t you think?

Right here in this place there is no newspaper.

Looks like three different pictures back here. I wonder why there’s nobody in this chair. Seems strange. I think this is a dog here in his arms. I think it’s a horse the kids ride. He’s been riding a horse. This is his riding coat.

They’re home now.
