Sample Text From Pirate Cinema – Young Adult Sci-fi About Piracy
Prologue: A star finds true love/A knock at the door/A family ruined/On the road/Alone
I will never forget the day my family got cut off from the Internet. I was hiding in my room as I usually did after school let out, holed up with a laptop I’d bought third-hand and that I nursed to health with parts from here and there and a lot of cursing and sweat.
But that day, my little lappie was humming along, and I was humming with it, because I was about to take away Scot Colford’s virginity.
You know Scot Colford, of course. They’ve been watching him on telly and at the cinema since my mum was a girl, and he’d been dead for a year at that point. But dead or not, I was still going to take poor little Scoty’s virginity, and I was going to use Monalisa Fiore-Oglethorpe to do it.
You probably didn’t know that Scot and Monalisa did a love-scene together, did you? It was over fifty years ago, when they were both teen heart-throbs, and they were co-stars in a genuinely terrible straight-to-net film called No Hope, about a pair of clean cut youngsters who fall in love despite their class differences. It was a real weeper, and the supporting appearances in roles as dad, mum, best mate, priest, teacher, etc, were so forgettable that they could probably be used as treatment for erasing traumatic memories.
