Where It Could Go

Damion

I wake up to my phone vibrating and grab it just in time to see a missed call from Taye. I glance over at Mel, who’s asleep next to me. I don’t know when she fell asleep, seeing as when I fell asleep last night after more sex and a shower together, she was sitting up in bed with her laptop, typing away. But knowing her and based on the fact that it’s just a little after nine, it was probably only a few hours ago. If that.

Not wanting to move out of bed yet, but also not wanting to wake her, I text, What?

Otw to bring back the car and actually make some headway with you. I’m stopping for coffee to give you time to get up. Does Mel want anything.

I text back Mel’s normal coffee order before sleeping out of bed to get dressed. I pull the covers further up Mel’s body and leave a kiss on her cheek before leaving the room and closing the door behind me. I remember to pick up and put away our discarded clothes from last night because that’s the last thing I need Taye to see. Then I go to my office.

Today, Taye and I are going through my archives. Notebooks, papers, napkins, school assignments, and just about anything else I jotted down ideas on. From just a few sentences to outlines, to half (or even fully) written scripts that I hit a wall in for some reason and abandoned. There’s a decade and half worth of material and ideas. There’s got to be something worth salvaging.

There’s more material to work with than I thought as I end up carrying out four medium boxes filled with materials.

“Holy shit,” Taye says when he sees everything. “How do you have writer’s block? There are filmmakers who have been doing this for thirty years who don’t have half these ideas.”

“Half of this is probably trash. Some of these are from all the way back in high school,” I point out.

“So that means you’ve got your very own slush pile. Gotta be a jewel in there somewhere,” Taye insists, grabbing a few notebooks off the top and flopping down on the sofa.

I turn a movie on in the background. It’s something we’ve already watched and are both ambivalent enough about that we won’t get distracted talking about some issue with the script, editing, and directing, if there are any.

By the time two hours have passed, we’re not even halfway through our respective boxes and there are papers, notebooks, and napkins all over the floor and coffee table.

“Do you have any fucking hobbies, man?” Taye asks in disbelief at the mess of all my work and effort.

“Plenty. I go through bouts of intense creativity before burning out for a few months. It’s never lasted as long as this particular burnout has, though,” I admit with a sigh.

“Hey,” Taye says. “Half of this one is torn off. You think the other half might be
