Parson Greene
an excerpt

"So, why did you call me?" Parson broke the silence.

A large grim began to form on Alvin's face which would've been very warm and charming if it wasn't also incredibly fucking creepy. "I've got the role of a lifetime for you my friend."

Parson already knew it wasn't the role of a lifetime, it wasn't even the role of a month, but out of curiousity's sake and just general boredom he decided to play along. "Interesting. Lay it on me."

Alvin got right into it. "Let me start by asking you a question. Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have a Mayan curse cast on you that turned you into a helicopter?"

In a bizarre coincidence Parson had actually thought about having a Mayan curse turning you into a speedboat the day before but unfortunately a helicopter never came into play. "I can honestly say that that question has never popped into my ol' noggin."

"It's one that I think about a lot. I'm a huge fan of the Mayan race, they seemed like a good bunch and I sometimes wish I could have been one. I also like helicopters because they are cool and can go high into the air like birds and other helicopters. So naturally these two interests of mine interlocked and their combination left a great idea for a film in my head...a cop is turned into a helicopter."

Parson was intrigued to say the least. "Really? You want to make a film about that?"

"Oh absolutely. Think about the possibilities!"

That wasn't a rhetorical question and there was another 20 seconds of silence as Alvin literally let him think of the possibilities.
