Short Story: OnWorld episode 1

dialogue

I've always wanted to create a South Park-like short series where people act in real life like they behave on social media. Now I can actually create it with the help of AI.

Here is the first script of the first episode:

SMALL CITY CENTER – MORNING

The sky is dull green. The air smells faintly of burnt plastic and peppermint. The town square is filled with flickering holograms, giant QR codes, and graffiti that says things like: “SHARE OR PERISH” and “MY IDENTITY IS A SPONSORSHIP.”

A group of six friends sits around a crooked café table: ALEX, NOEL, LENA, MALIK, DANNY, and a jittery JUICEBOT bringing organic water with tracking chips.

NOEL

(muttering) Does anyone else feel like we're stuck inside someone else's brain?

ALEX

Yeah. Someone with notifications enabled for everything.

Suddenly, a chant rises in the distance. Rhythmic. Ritualistic. Eerie.

CROWD (O.S.)

“We rot for renewal. We rot for renewal.”

They all turn. A parade of people, dressed in green body paint and biodegradable robes, march toward the city fountain.

They carry signs:

“MEAT = MURDER = MOTHER’S TEARS” “DEATH TO DIE FOR EARTH” “WE ARE THE FINAL RECYCLEABLE”

LENA

(tears in her eyes) It’s happening.

MALIK Who let the Greensexuals out of the compost temple?NOEL Please tell me this is just a flashmob.

DANNY

Nah. That’s Juno at the front. She’s glowing.

Cut to:

JUNO – hair shaved into a moss mohawk, body covered in leaf tattoos, arms outstretched like a prophet.

JUNO

Brothers. Sisters. Non-carbon binaries. Today, we unbind ourselves from the carbon chains that enslave us. Today, we compost the ego.

ALEX

Jesus Christ.

NOEL

Don't say “Jesus” — the Last Religion War was trending for 6 months.

The Greensexuals form a circle. Juno steps into the center with a solemn smile.JUNO The planet does not need our voice. It needs our silence.

A drone floats down with a tray of green glass vials labeled: “100% ORGANIC DEGRADATION.”JUNO Drink with me, and become fertile.

MALIK

(to Lena) You joining them or nah?

LENA

No… I… I have a dentist appointment. But they’re so brave.

The Greensexuals drink. One by one, they collapse like wilting plants. Juno remains standing, eyes locked on the sky.

JUNO

#CompostMe

She drinks. Staggers. Smiles. Collapses into the fountain as green water bubbles around her.A pause. Then…

🎉 NOTIFICATION: JUNO IS TRENDING #1: #BIOEXIT #GODDESSOFGAIA #GOINGGREEN

The crowd applauds like they just watched a TED Talk.

DANNY

(clapping politely) Honestly, the choreography was tight.

ALEX

How long do you think until they start selling her ashes in zero-waste jars?
