On the Outs


An elderly former celebrity seeks to disappear quietly and leave a great deal of mystery surrounding his absence. As he attempts to carefully sever all of his ties, he realizes that there are more things that he cares about than he thought. Also, there are plenty of people with a vested interest in his continued existence or at least a degree of curiosity regarding his increasingly peculiar behavior as he sets up his disappearance.

The Greatest


Susan strives to achieve renown by becoming the youngest living great great grandmother. After having her child at 16 and dealing with that adversity, she is then distraught when her daughter makes the same ‘mistake’. Having spent her life worried about everyone but her, she decides to capitalize on this by becoming a great great grandmother. So, at 47, she is now pressuring her 16 year old granddaughter to have sex and have child. Obviously, this violates social norms. Her daughter disapproves as well. And she’ll need to instill in this a child a sense of youthful sexuality in order to get her to continue the trend for at least one more generation. The human race becomes abruptly sterile, so Susan consents to having her high fertility studied in order to perpetuate the race. Before doing this, she must contend with the consideration that if the world goes post-apocalyptic, at the present, she has a disproportionately large clan to fight by her side and this could be advantageous if the old paradigm is never reinstated.
