The "Uncommon"
A screenplay, "The Uncommon"
written by Harkrader 2008-2011 (copyright 2011)
Harkrader designed the above poster using photographic images
he captured in the years preceding the story. His bride, Ellen,
his family SUV, a friend's dog, a storefront in Roanoke,
the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, and a local train
engine--all elements relevant to the very bizarre and original storyline.
Harkrader has written two screenplays and a five page synopsis for a
reality show, none of which have been optioned-at this point.
Action Excerpt:
"Between earth and lower heaven,
Dove lands, morphing to Infant.
Stands...knocks.
Winged arms with tiny hands struggle
to turn heaven's door knob. No access.
The milk-white infant sheds the feathered remnants of
it's cocoon-like velvety hull.
An umbilical cord emerges.
Audible coos morph into an oration of vocal tones.
Angel of destiny, URIEL, hoists Infant into her bosom.
Heaven's entry expands.
Spiritual beings CHANT.
Classical elements of fire, earth, water and light
ABSORB into a black hole.
Heaven's panoramic curtain closes.
Thunderheads fold inward.
ACCESS."
