Da Vinci's Dog
For L.K. Rolan's "Could YOU be An Award Winning Script Writer?" Challenge
Introduction
This is for the challenge set by L.K. Rolan that you can check out here:
Da Vinci's Dog
A blind man gets a seeing-eye dog, he has been waiting for six months since he lost his sight in an accident. Life has been difficult and he did not see how a dog would help, but the dog is amazingly empathic and helpful.
Then, when they are alone, the dog begins to talk to him. He starts to think he is going mad and shuts the dog out pf his house.
The dog howls so much that he lets the dog in.
The dog talks again and calms him down, and tells him that he is Leonardo Da Vinci and proceeds to tell how to make small adjustments and devices to make his life better.
In their conversations, he showed the dog his computer and told Leonardo he could communicate with almost anyone in the world.
Leonardo becomes excited because he knows that his boyfriend, the model for the Mona Lisa, had been reincarnated and was living with a blind lady in France.
He managed to contact her and they became close friends and the dogs are beautifully reunited.
About The Idea
I was sure I couldn't do this and it may seem far too mad an idea, but I managed to put it down. The idea came to me in a dream, and I love the work of Da Vinci and the idea just seemed to cook in my head.
The blind man, I could see, played by Eddie Redmayne and the French woman, Charlotte Gainsbourg. The dogs would be dogs.
Leonardo voiced by Eric Cantona and his boyfriend Ian McKellen.

One Vocal Story, One Vocal Challenge
Introduction I just submitted a story to the Vocal Absurdist Awakening Challenge, and though the challenge specifies a minimum of five hundred words, because it has to be submitted to the Humor community, it was rejected because the limit for that community is six hundred words, and Vocal has not relaxed it. Maybe they will at some point.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

I love this! Thank you for participating! I'm sorry I've been quiet! Congratulations, I have already passed your story on to some of the best eyes in the industry! Prize money incoming :)
I didn’t know da Vinci had a talking dog who used to be his Mona Lisa posing boyfriend reincarnated.’ Holy crap. Great story… true? 😁
Good job for the best stories come from our dreams.
Yup, I'm with Sharon, I'd definitely watch this!
Well done, Mike, and very believable. I could see it playing out on Netflix.
Intriguing, to say the least. An out-there kind of concept reminiscent of Max Headroom.
I'd watch it
