(The camera snaps on revealing a cheap motel room. Sitting on the edge of the bed facing the camera is Kirk Redwood. He has a lit cigarette in his hand that he seems to just be rolling in his fingers. The room has enough smoke to indicate he’s been there for awhile.) I am not a product of my...

(The camera fades in on a field of crops. Half of them haven’t grown yet, but the earth is actively being worked by farmers. As the camera pans around to observe the Spanish countryside, it lands on Kirk Redwood leaning up on a rental car.) When the seeds are planted and the crop grows Ryan...

(The camera fades in on the decaying body of a fox. It’s bottom half is gone and the top rots in the sun. Bugs buzz around and it as the carcass practically boils in the sun.) You hope against hope for one last breath when you find that yours is gone. In this world there won’t be nothing...

(The camera fades in on Kirk Redwood smoking a cigarette on a raggedy couch in his rundown apartment. Although the camera is facing him, the background noise indicates that he is rewatching Grand Rampage on a television off camera.) How does it feel to be another man’s bitch Joso? How does it...

(The camera fades in on Kirk Redwood standing on the edge of his fire escape. He’s inhales a cigarette for a long time before blowing out the smoke. As he flicks the end into an ashtray precariously balanced on the rail, he begins to talk.) If this was a clout-chasing match and not Grand...

(A camera fades in a cracked TV screen. Through the glass, a mix of clips from this weeks EAW episodes are recapping what went down. As the camera pans out, Kirk Redwood is standing a couple feet away with intense eyes. He tightly grips a a glass of soda.) Once again, I face the world...

(The camera fades in on Kirk Redwood sitting at a dining room table. He’s staring at a photo strip from a photobooth. As the camera gets closer, it is shown as a photo of Kirk, his daughter, and his girlfriend. In the photo, they seem all smiles expect for Kirk.) …I came close to death. For the...
