Brandon Yee's Short Story Proposal

Exposition: Roddy and Trademark are going through a worldwide war in the far future. They are apart of the Jet Squadron, which consists of 300 determined men. Their motto is "Teamwork Over Errything."  Roddy and Trademark are the leaders of the Jets and are taking their squadron through the hazy city of San Francisco.  Confident that they'll beat any enemy in their sight, they push through the city, only to find themselves a big surprise waiting for them.

Inciting Incident: It's midnight.  The Jets have setup shop around Union Square, ready for action.  The first wave of enemies swarm at them, only to get destroyed by the organized army of the Jets.  Roddy this this is too simple for his troop, so he decides to lead a small group of 50 men outside of Union Square.  Trademark disagrees with the idea and tries to stop Roddy from doing such a thing, but it's too late.  Young Roddy, as Trademark would call him, is out.


Rising Action: Roddy leads his troop inside the bart station, nearing Westfield Mall.  Every second is an explosion outside of the mall.  Not fazed by it whatsoever, Roddy and his men post up in the food court.  Each of them holds their breath, as they try to spot any enemy figures.  Glass shatters and Roddy's group hear some men whispering right above them.  Roddy gives his troop the signal and on three, they swiftly charge up the escalators, weapons ready at any moment.


Climax: Slaying everyone in their path, the Jets clear out the 1st floor of enemies, only to be greeted by five more floors of opponents.  Roddy knows there's only going to be one way out of this situation.  He grabbed his iPhone and told Siri that he needs a jet as soon as possible.  Siri happily responds and within minutes, the roof shatters.  Dropping bombs like none other, ten jets appear overhead clearing out the top floors of enemies.  It's looking like an easy victory for the Jets, until a bright set of lights appeared, like fireworks, through the sky.  Roddy has no idea what they are until each of them hit Roddy's jets and cause a massive explosion.  The planes fall onto Westfield and knock out every single floor.  Hearing the explosion, Trademark and the rest of the men quickly rush into Westfield.


Falling Action: Trademark quickly searches the site to find his co-leader, Roddy, lying on the floor, blood everywhere around him.  He begins to tear up when Roddy tells him that it's okay.  They won the battle at Westfield.  50 men against countless others is the Jet World Order.  Roddy tells Trademark to lead the rest of the 250 men throughout San Francisco.  Trademark agrees and carries Roddy on his shoulders with the rest of his men.


Resolution: Teamwork is key.  The Jets had that, but needed it when it mattered most.  Trademark and the rest of the men go out and conquer every other squad in town.  As for Roddy, the only thing going through his mind is, "The view? The view is nice from up here."
