[ALVIN]
"A Neat Career". A story about Thomas
(ALVIN gives the pages to THOMAS.)
[THOMAS]
...Okay
(THOMAS begins, not quite understanding ALVIN's choice of story.)
My college application required a sample of my writing - a short story - and I had nothing. I'd been writing things down for years, but nothing resembled an actual story - so, in a panic, I went to find Alvin at the store to tell me what to do
[ALVIN]
(As he's working, shelving books etc.)
There's gotta be thousands of stories in that head of yours, Tom, just pick one and write it down!
[THOMAS]
So, I... picked one and wrote it down. Three hundred and fifty words, amounting to, I suspected, a pile of crap. So, I decided to read it to Alvin, and let him decide if it was any good at all
