Click Your Heals Dorothy I Want To Go Home To Kansa

Take on board this as a potential movie script
that will never get made

Of a traveling advertising salesman visiting Kansas City named Chris

Who endeared himself to the young lady hotel bar-keeper called Laura he was staying at

Fast forward to day 2 after chatting casual musings
between tender and customer

And an initial friendship struck up

This is where the conversation went

So where are you from Chris

I'm from Liverpool Laura

Oh where the Beatles are from ?

Yip the very same one

So how long are you still here for ?

Only another 2 day's i leave Saturday 

My shift finishes tomorrow at 6pm

If your not doing anything and you want i'll show you around the city if you want ?

That's very kind of you Laura thank you
but i'm sure you have something better to do than show me around 

Honestly i don't mind and you seem like a nice person 

Ok then cheers

So what would you like to do or see then ?

We'll the least i can do is take you out for dinner 

Where is the best place to get a steak here ?

And the rest i'll leave up to you it's your home town after all

The next day during dinner

I have to say great choice this
steak is unbelievable

So what is your story Laura ?

What do you mean ?

Well you know a bit about me

But how come a nice young girl like you is
out spending your friday night with me ?

Well if you really want to know i have just
been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor
and i have been given 6 month's to live

So i am trying to spend my remaining time left
doing things i would never normally do

So here i am ,
Sorry

Wow

That i was not expecting
I don't quite know exactly what to say or do with that
