Plausible Fiction

Int. Palin Household - Living Room - Dusk

Enter BRISTOL PALIN, a sixteen year old girl who, normally, is quite pretty but in this case displays torn clothes, a black eye, split lips, blood matted hair and streams of tears. She holds her violated belly and groin and limps through the front door. SARAH PALIN is seated near the fireplace and, upon noticing Bristol's arrival, stands. Bristol begins to cry openly. Sarah is unmoved.

Sarah Palin: Bristol, I can see by your broken demeanor and blood spotted underwear that some terrible aggression has befallen you. But before you speak, let me say my peace: You must keep this rape baby that you now carry inside your womb, even if she will become a painful daily reminder of the terrible suffering you have just experienced and of the plans you had for your life which today have been reduced to pipe dreams. Because that is God's will. And I better not find you rooting through any of the closets for a coathanger.

Bristol nods through her tears and exit.

FADE TO:

Int. Palin Household - Bristol's Room - Dusk

Bristol enters and sits down on her flower patterned bedspread, curls into a ball and, sobbing, privately wonders why God has to be such a bitch.

FADE OUT
