Dirty Bomb

be anywhere but Sometown, Anywhere

in a suit case

in a brief case

in a hat box

in a golf bag

FREEZE 1 We are in the back of a small cheap but reliable looking automobile. There is a large bulky sports bag on the back seat. The car is parked at an awkward angle near the mall exit.

under a seat on a bus

in a bin by a school

in a locker at the YMCA

on a seat at maccas

FREEZE 2 A fire drill is being conducted in a small mall in Sometown, Anywhere. Wardens usher office staff, shop keepers and shoppers to the evacuation point. The designated evacuation point at this particular mall is the car park near the mall exit

in a duffel bag

in a cake box

in a back pack

in the back of a car

FREEZE 3 Was that a beep that only a dog could hear? What wireless horror zipped through the air that day? The awkwardly parked car suddenly erupts. A gushing fireball sweeps out and around itself in a hellish arc of fiery pain, death and mutilation.

in a breath
