The scene opens up in a dark, dingy room. A single sound can be heard� in fact, it sounds like the dripping of a tap. The floors of the room are uncarpeted� there is only hard, cold concrete. The walls and ceiling are unpapered and unpainted, leaving bare plaster. From that same bare ceiling hangs just a light bulb, with a dim Wattage, and lacking a lampshade. In the corner of the room is a small desk, and on it is a pad and a pencil, laid down as though mid-way through use. On the pad, is scribbled one word� TAL
And sat there, facing away from the television, is a figure, silhouetted against the glare of the television. He has long, blonde hair, tied back in a ponytail. Sunshades hide his eyes, and he is wearing a pair of blue, tartan long-shorts and a black T-shirt. Emblazoned on the T-shirt is the image of a flaming eagle being engulfed by the wide jaws of a rabbit. The character is The Jackrabbit of the Golden Wrestling Organisation! The Jackrabbit�s face is not lively is smiling. Rather, it is long and unhappy. An overly exaggerated sad frown is on his face. And in the background, humming behind him is the sound of �Out Of My Head� by �Puddle of Mudd.� �What is wrong with all my friends, I know that I am unlike them! Just another situation don't hold me back, I don't look good to them. They always act so dirty they keep themselves so clean why can't they find the answers to the questions that are right in front of me!?�
�Hello� miserable� sad� deserted, �Rabbit Fans�. Please, no, no� don�t. There is no need to explain yourselves. I feel just the way you do��
The Jackrabbit is not talking to anyone. He is not addressing the camera, or any physical person. He seems to be lost in himself, and it sounds as though he has probably been repeating this conversation with himself for a very long time� the words sound so very practised.
�I have been feeling the same way since Sunday� since I fell in a Blaze Of Glory. You are feeling� The Jackrabbit lost at the Pay-Per-View. The Jackrabbit was beaten by Talon� and then by the Acao version, too! For two whole, damn solid months The Jackrabbit� that�s me� has tormented Talon� for those two months I have had the Last Laugh� well, except for that bit where Talon kidnapped me and beat me to a pulp and tried to kill me� but other than that, I always got The Last Laugh! But not at the Pay-Per-View� oh hell no. At the Glory that Blazes, Talon beat me� Talon beat me one-on-one. What� is� wrong� with� me? All that time and effort� wasted. Week One: Give Talon The Last Laugh and cost him World Title! Week Two: Interfere in Talon�s match and cost him his Commonwealth Title! Week Three: Trick Talon and go to his Dark Tower to trash it and steal pet bird. Week Four: Set Talon�s pet bird on fire. I did everything I could to make Talon�s mind collapse. To win me over mentally� To make Talon too insecure to beat me at Blaze Of Glory. � But now I realise what I did wrong� I made Talon go too far over the edge, and I made him snap! I made him become so mad� so crazy, that he didn�t feel the pain I inflicted on his body. He did not feel anything, and he would not stay down. Now I realise that every punch, every slam that Talon gave me, he was thinking about everything I did to him over those weeks. He thought of his wrecked Tower, he thought of the burnt pet bird, he thought of the lost Commonwealth and World Titles. And he channelled that anger against me. And not only that� I finally broke him. When I gave him The Standing Joke� and when I gave him The Last Laugh� and when I beat him down with that lead piping� not only did I snap that lead piping in two, I also snapped Talon in two! That�s what I did. I snapped Talon, and like those lead piping pieces, when both halves are used together they are more lethal than the original was as a whole� Talon was snapped, and those two pieces used together became Talanacao!! I killed Talon, and I made Talanacao. And� And this Sunday, I will kill Talanacao too!
You see� that�s just it� maybe Talon could be� but Talanacao, he�s a completely different kind of person. Talon beat me, but Talanacao won�t. Talanacao is just a crazy, sadistic, freak of nature. This guy shouldn�t be aloud out on the streets. Where they are little kiddies. Nice, innocent little kiddies who have done nothing to anyone� and Acao is out there sexually abusing them, and this government is absolutely happy as Larry with it. What is wrong with this country? It�s their entire fault! Anyone living in this country is absolutely crazy! Err�. except me� I�m the only one in this place that is sane.
I�d lock Talanacao up somewhere, somewhere that he can�t get out from� somewhere like them places where he has to wear orange pyjamas all day, and is forced to brush his teeth every day, �cause his breath probably smells really bad�. Err�.
Talanacao is also a killer� or nearly. I know, he�s a �potential killer.� Five years ago, as Talon, he tried to kill me� but he didn�t, I survived. And now, I will make damn sure I get my revenge on Acao, �cause I couldn�t get it on Talon. I�ll keep Acao locked up inside, and then take him out from the outside. I�m going to do whatever it takes to beat Acao at Murder. No matter whether it�s a School Boy roll-up or a Sharpshooter. Whether it�s the Standing Joke. Whether it�s The Last Laugh! Or whether I have to illegally use any one of these beautiful little toys on my floor to put the big oaf away, I will do it. Because now I�ve felt defeat, it�s time to go into �Anything-To-Win� mode, and let the �Rabbit Senses take me to a win. Acao, wouldn�t it be nice to have a 1-1 record with each other? No, not really, I�d much prefer for you never to have defeated me. But life sucks, don�t it? This Sunday, at none other than Monday Murder, I will even the score once and for all, and I�ll finally make you pay, Talon. And then, at last, and once again,
The Jackrabbit will get The Last Laugh!�
The Jackrabbit explodes into a fit of hysterical laughter, but then he turns to see the match being re-played on the television set, and he falls silent, and the camera zooms in on the match, and Talanacao beating The Jackrabbit with his two pieces of lead piping.
