A party is going on..Tatsuyas mother is at a restaurant, as her job is hosting an event.

  “My oh my....You clean up real nice Luanna”

  A man is starstruck looking at Tatsuyas mom. Sporting a red dress, dangling earrings, her blonde hair in a nice slickly back ponytail.

  “Thank you Kei”

  Luanna smiled.

  “Like check you out, is that all mine”

  Kei grabs at Luannas hips

  Luanna puts her hands on his chest, shly pushing him away.

  “Let’s get a table, sit and chat”

  ………………………………….

  Kei and Luanna sit at the restaurant table. People ugh, chat and dance around them. Alot of people at this event.

  “So you finally giving me a chance huh? we’re really doing this?”

  Kei grins.

  Luanna blushes, looking off to the side.

  “Yea I mean you’ve been patient..pursuing me, dropping hints and all that. I just said you know. Why not. I haven’t talked to anybody in a while so...”

  “Yea I was just about ready to give up”

  Kei ughed.

  “You know… I just kind of like to focus on work, my duties and I have a troubled son…he needs me. Plus talking to people and- and getting back in the dating world again, its kind of scary..”

  Luanna remarks.

  “Oh I remember your son.. isn’t he like 22 tho? He has to start carrying his own weight as a man, cant keep depending on mommy now”

  Kei leans in, drinking a cup of his wine

  Luanna has a awkward smile, just looking down at the table

  “And you really haven’t dated anyone.. since your husband? No one? that’s hard to believe..”

  Kei starts drooping his head a little, now getting tipsy.

  “What is that supposed to mean?”

  Luanna squinted her eyes.

  “It’s just.. I have a hard time believing women, when they say they haven’t been “dating”.. like ok you haven’t had a boyfriend but you must’ve been doing something…”

  “Oh Luanna aren’t you just shining”

  A man touches her shoulder , with two other men beside him.

  Luanna turns around, seeing her boss and colleagues.

  “Oh stop Eric”

  Luanna smiles

  “Hey Luanna you do look great”

  Another man looks at her

  “Thanks John”

  She nods her head

  “ I mean it, you look stunning, my greatest sales woman.”

  Eric holds up his wine gss, Luanna grabs hers. They toast

  “Heya Keenan”

  Eric looks over at him.

  “Boss”

  Kei drunkly nods his head

  “He definitely does not deserve you”

  Eric and the men ugh

  They start to walk off, the two men look back. Checking out Luanna once more before they leave.

  Luanna smiles. Her face a little red. Also feeling the effects of her drinks.

  “I need to know..”

  Kei starts wiggling his finger.

  “Know what?”

  Luanna gives a confused look.

  “I need to know…who you’ve been with.”

  Kei slowly raises his head, his head swaying back and forth a bit. He leans over the table, close to Luanna.

  “ I NEED TO KNOW, WHO YOU FUCKED.”

  Luanna is taken aback

  “Who I WHA-..”

  “IS IT SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM?” Kei raises his voice, but the loud music is drowning him out. He looks over at the guys in the room.

  “Kei your drunk. Get a GRIP!”

  Luanna gets flustered.

  “I GOTTA KNOW who you fucked in this ROOM!”

  Kei looks at her, his eyes low

  He grabs at her arm

  “I GOTTA KNOW WHO YOU FUCKED IN THIS ROOM”

  “Which one of our coworkers..?? Don’t tell me IT WAS THE BiGGEST BOS-“

  “Calm down pyboy.”

  Someone grabs Kei shoulder.

  “Tatsuya”

  Luanna raises her eyebrows

  “You came..”

  Kei turns around.

  “Oh so if it isn’t the son…”

  Tatsuya looks at Kei angrily. His hand still gripping his shoulder.

  “I’m surprised you’re here.. I thought you’d be.. I don’t know. Smoking in the backyard. Sleeping from pying the game all night. You know, degenerate shit.”

  Kei mushes Tatsuya hand off his shoulder. He stands up, facing him..

  “What’s wrong Kei? Can’t handle your liquor?”

  Tatsuya shakes his head

  “Your too old for that.”’

  Tatsuya starts pointing his finger, to keis face.

  Kei pushes his finger away.

  “Yea? And your too fucking old to be zing around, not doing shit with your life!”

  Kei gets close to Tatsuyas face.

  “Guys guys enough.”

  Luanna gets up, trying to get them to stop but a group of people doing the cha cha slide , get between her and the boys.

  -  EVERYBODYYYTY SHOTS SHOTS SHOT-SHOT SHOT SHOT- SHOT SHOT- SHOT SHOT

  “I have a House. I have a mortgage. I PAY Bills. I have a successful career…what do you have without your mother?”

  Kei excimed.

  Tatsuya looks down, nodding his head in lowkey agreement.

  A couple is eating at the far end of the restaurant. Spaghetti and appetizers

  “Boy that’s some good Oj “

  The man smiles at his wife.

  He then starts poking something with his fork.

  “HONEY?”

  His wife panics

  The man starts leaning forward..…

  “A cockroach?”

  The man and his wife look, as a roach comes from under the table.

  ………………………….:::.:::::.:::……………..

  Luanna comes between the two men. Pushing them away from each other.

  “Break it up, that’s it.”

  “WHAT DO YOU HAVE??.. YOU CANT DO NOTHING WITH ME.”

  Kei stares Tatsuya down as his mother pushes him back.

  “Well I mog you so” Tatsuya whispered.

  “YOU WHAT?…”

  Kei struggles to hear

  “Shit atleast I mog you…”

  Tatsuya shrugs his shoulders.

  A women runs out of the restaurants kitchen, going up some stairs. She runs to the managements room.

  She knocks on the door.

  “Yes come in”

  The woman walks in on an older man, sitting in a chair.

  “Yes what is it Sophie?”

  The man asked

  Sophie eyes are widen, as if she’s seen a ghost.

  “Houston we have a problem..”

  A bunch of roaches flood out of Sophie’s kitchen.

  The guest start to yell and scream, as roaches crawl on the floor. Tables and out of the food.

  People begin to run to the front door to try to leave but the entire exit is covered with roaches, piled on top of each other, built like a wall.

  Tatsuya and his mom look over.

  “Now What?”

  Kei stares at the contuplus amount of roaches in the room.

  He begins feeling something near his shoe

  He looks down

  -CRUNCH-

  “AHHH OWW”

  Kei starts grabbing for his foot, he falls down, tripping off his leg.

  A bunch of roaches start swarming him

  “AAHHHHHHHHHHHHOugqhahbahha”

  “Kei?” Tatsuya mother starts to move past, the people in the way.

  She looks in horror, as the roaches start biting into Keith’s face.

  “And…… showtime.”

  A woman emerges.

  Tatsuya looks, as he’s sees a women walking along with roaches. Following behind her. With some on her hair and some on her clothes.

  People are shocked, some huddled in a corner.

  “Well how do you all feel tonight??”

  The woman walks around the room. With a group of roaches.

  “Good, I hope..”

  “WHO- WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU COVERED IN ROACHES?”

  A man yelled from the crowd.

  “Good question”

  She starts skipping around.

  “….you see I’m from this town too.. Not the rich part like you folk… but I’m from here.”

  The dy takes a seat.

  “And you see these roaches.. I- I lived with them, surrounded by them daily..”

  One of the cock roaches y on her finger, looking like a ring.

  “My name is Maysia and I just wanted you all to get a taste of my life.. how I had to live..”

  “No fancy restaurants, no luxurious cars.. just treacherous.. living in the trenches.”

  Maysia looked up at the ceiling.

  “Who are you calling?”

  A man freezes as he types on his cell phone.

  “I- uh I just wanted to-“

  “Come on, you haven’t even eaten dessert yet..”

  Maysia pats at the table until she touches one of the ptes

  “Come”

  She says.

  “Your food is still good.”

  Maysia looks at the man. Her eyes dark and sunken.

  The man walks up, out of fear. He looks at the pte. A cinnamon swirl bun. With roaches coming out of and ying underneath. Tampering with it.

  “I.. I can’t eat that, it’s swarmed with roaches. I mean..”

  “No it’s still good.. eat it”

  Maysia gestured the man to sit down in the chair next to hers.

  “Ha.. I can’t… you know it’s just…not really eatable anymore”

  The man smiles awkwardly, scratching the back of his head

  Maysia gets up slightly, grabbing the man by his tie

  “ I SAID EAT IT!”

  Maysia demands. Her face becomes deranged looking. Yanking the man by the tie, leading him to the opposite seat.

  She sits back down.

  “Now go enjoy your food..”

  The man begins to cry. Slowly picking up his fork.

  The crowd is silent. Not saying anything as they watch.

  Tatsuya stands there. Frozen.

  The man takes a piece of the cinnamon swirl bun. Roaches hissing from inside the cake. He raises it to his mouth. His hand trembling.

  He doesn’t look at the bun. He just stares at Maysia. Crying silently. Begging with not words but his eyes.

  “That’s it..”

  She puts her hand next to his. To guide him.

  “Now insert”

  Her hand pushes his. A piece is on his tongue.

  A roach dances inside the cream filling.

  “Now chew chew”

  Swallow

  -GULP-

  The man digest the cinnamon roach swirl.

  “Now how does that taste?”

  The man smiles painfully. All teeth showing wide.

  “Delightful”

  The man has a unnatural, happy look on his face.

  The man starts looking down. Leaning towards the floor, making regurgitating sounds.

  “Hahahahahha”

  Maysia is amused.

  “It can’t taste that bad.”

  The man has blood in eyes .

  -  HYACKAHHHtYSUHgGhahHhH-

  The man regurgitates. Food is trying to come out but can’t. He starts falling to the floor

  -  HYAKA- HYKAZZS- HYKAZAAAHHSJAAUAU-

  The man continues. He vomits a bit but not as much as he’s supposed to.

  A dodo trail, follows from his pants leg. Seeping out of his socks and at the end of his legs.

  “Now who’s next”

  -  KABLOOM

  A force hits the front door.

  Maysia looks over

  -  KlABOW

  The front door busts open. Roaches go flying in mid air and fall. Becoming immobilized.

  “Looks like we found our source.”

  Ocho looks upon Maysia.

  Akari. Lacey and Mikasa follow along after him.

  “Wow so many roaches… can I take one home?”

  Lacey looks at Ocho and then at a roach.
