The Bucket List

The scene unfolds on a bathroom vanity cluttered with various medication containers. The sound of a man's hacking cough can be heard. A hand extends, seizing one of the pill containers. The hand's owner, Gary (Codey Steele), appears visibly unwell as he gazes at his reflection in the mirror. He forcefully places the pill container back onto the vanity, then gulps down water straight from the faucet. He inhales deeply, his coughing subsiding. He exits the bathroom. Gary searches through a drawer filled with an assortment of ominous items and keepsakes. He places an object inside, then scribbles on an enigmatic piece of paper. Suddenly, the sound of the front door opening echoes through the house. A woman's voice rings out, 'Gary?' Gary glances back at the intimidating items in the drawer. He takes a deep breath and slides the drawer shut. 'I'm in here,' Gary replies. CUT TO TITLE The visitor, Melissa (Vanna Bardot), Gary's closest friend, has arrived to see him. He is suffering from a terminal illness and his time is running out. Gary then discloses why he summoned her: he has a morbid bucket list, and sleeping with Melissa is one of the tasks listed. Melissa is taken aback and attempts to leave, but when Gary insinuates the other, more horrific deeds he's already accomplished from his list, she ultimately decides to stay and acquiesces to his wishes. There's nothing that will prevent Gary from ticking this off his bucket list...
