Studentski Grad - Nikolay Georgiev

Place: Flat number 4 in Sofia, Studentski Grad

Boy 1 – Mitko – 20 years old, a student of computer engineering

Boy 2 – Bojkata – 20 years old, a student in machine engineering

Boy 3 – Philip – 20 years old, a student in electronics

Two boys are sitting in an old-fashioned, exceptionally dirty dorm room. They sit on their old desktop computers with huge monitors that take 99.9% of their desks and there is barely place for their keyboards that are colored in dirt-black. They play old-school shooter games incredibly concentrated (Doom, Counter-Strike). In the middle of the room there is a table, covered in empty plastic packs, dirty dishes, banana peels in the color of a black hole, under the table there are fifteen 2 liter plastic bottles, of empty beers. A 3rd boy enters the room. The two others do not acknowledge his presence - they are consumed in their computer worlds. The 3rd boy spots a half piece of Shpekov salami and reaches to take it – the moment he gets it in his hand the 2 boys turn around their heads and take a deep angry look at him. There is an intense moment of 3 seconds, after which the 3rd boy turns around with great skill and fines and takes a run for it through the door and down the hall. The other two boys immediately leave their sacred computer places. The boy that is closer to the door is in his bath robe. Nevertheless he takes a knife from the table and starts a chase, the other one takes a steal bar that is usually used for window cleaning but in their case - temporary clothes dryer. They start running down the hall. There is a girl walking up the stairs that encounters the 3rd boy running down the stairs in incredibly fast pace with a half of Shpekov salami in his hand. The two other boys run down 2 seconds after him, one in his bath robe with a knife in his hand and the other with a steal bar. She looks at them as they run down the hall chasing the 3rd boy, but there is no exit at the end of the corridor. However at the very end of the hall there is one room with an opened door and the boy with the salami enters there, instantly the 2 other boys follow him into the room. There is no sound of fighting; there is no sign of any violence taking place inside the room, however the girl remains still in order to see the outcome of the whole thing. Suddenly a strong smell creeps throughout the corridor. The girl is confused. She slowly approaches the room so she can take a peek out of curiosity. She looks inside the room and sees the 3 boys eating Shpekov salami and eating garlic.

  1. weren't we supposed to use 1 room 2 characters?

    what's their problem? brainwash from too much time in the computerworld? where is the conflict? the salami one? what is the main thought of the story?

  2. Yeah...I am also a bit confused. I would suggest to add dialogues and change the story into a play..Be more specific about the conflict in your creative writing.
