"A calm lake is a lying bastard that fools see as a beautiful woman. Superior's no lady. And this ain't water... This is the blood of a Godless monster."

VAMPIRES & PIRATES
Original Screenplay based on the Novel from the Lake Superior Mystery Series

Three years after the murder of his wife, John Haig returns to Lake Superior in search of his soul. He hires an old boat captain to take him to a remote outer island. Some claim the Captain, Bruce McQueeg is a shady character who never sets foot on land. Oddly, he is quite familiar with Haig's past, and sums him up with an uneasy admiration–– for another man who's been through hell and back. He shares his story with Haig, a story that breaks the boundries of reality. Yet it contains the elements of love and grief, which grind the story home to John Haig.

...Minutes after he's dropped off on the island, he hears a woman's cry for help. A woman whose plight will connect Haig to McQueeg in an extraordinary alliance of time and fate.

THE LOCKET

Short screenplay based on a tale from the “Bitterroot” short-story collection.

An old woman is brought into a hospital. The only thing she carries is a locket. She has no identification and is unable speak.  Although unable to communicate, the old woman is awake and aware of the two nurses, a male and a female, caring for her. When the nurses discover she won’t live through the night, they each battle their own fears of dying. Knowing their distress, and unable to comfort them, the old woman does the only thing she’s capable of—she concentrates all her thoughts on joy. At the brink of her death, the nurses open her locket and the old woman’s calming thoughts are finally able to transcend human speech and transmit the bliss of impermanence to her troubled caretakers.
