A Greater Force

-
It will be true love 
In the moment their eyes meet 
For the first time. 

The world will stop 
For both of them
It will be tender and passionate
And the force will be greater than 
that of the universe.

Part 1: First Draft

Abigail June Braywood stood in the middle of the Miller Park soccer field as her mother tied her thick, curly, red hair into a tight pony tail. The girls natural strawberry highlights shimmered as the sun shined down on her. The tie was decorated with strands of purple and black ribbon. Abigail represented her team colors proudly. She was squirmy and impatient, as most children her age were. The girl’s mother would describe her as defiant and stubborn. This was her first year playing soccer because she was finally old enough. Looking ahead, the young girl found her team mates running into the field to greet her. She excitedly attempted to escape her mothers grasp, “Abigail June!” her mother yelped at her, “Stop moving!” Abigail’s mother jerked her by her pony tail. Abigail quickly stood at attention; she knew if she heard her middle name called she was about to be in big trouble. Her mother hurried to finish the pony tail; and unpleased with the results, Abigail’s mother sent her to ...

He was an English playwright, actor, and screenwriter who wrote with themes based on political and social norms, including perceptions of spirituality. I enjoy John Osborne's work because we share a similar sense of dark humor and wit, as well as "mommy issues." I wish I could write as wittily as he has. Someone once described his plays as  “combined unsparing truthfulness with devastating wi t.” (Wikipedia) At age 18 John Osborne began acting in numerous plays, which is where he fell in love with playwriting. He co-wrote his first play, The Devil Inside Me , with his lover/wife Stella. Osborne described this play as a ‘melodrama about a poetic Welsh loon’ who murders a girl when he  realizes  that she is trying to frame him for sexual assault.' ( bl.uk ) Osborne has been married 5 times and is believed to be bisexual. John...
