"Blind Rage"

Tagline – “Deadly Sins Collide”

“25 words or less” – A guy finds his girlfriend in bed with another man and flies into a blind rage, turning his apartment into a personal torture chamber.

One page summary:
John Smith is on the verge of proposing to his longtime, live-in girlfriend, and even spends his free time at work browsing through engagement rings on Tiffany.com in preparation. One summer afternoon John leaves work early to get a start on the weekend and pack for their trip to New England but his world is suddenly turned upside down when he comes home and finds his girlfriend, Amy, having sex with another man.

John flies into a blind rage and turns their apartment into his personal torture chamber as he searches for answers on why his girlfriend would cheat on him.

Flashbacks are used heavily to tell the complete story of John and Amy - beginning with their budding romance and going right through to the eventual deterioration of their relationship.

The last sequence is the morning of the day when John gets out of work early; he wakes up sweating and breathing heavily after a bad dream. Amy, who is sleeping by his side, awakes and comforts him. He explains that, while his nightmare was unclear, he remembers Amy was hurt bad in it.

As John gets ready for work later that morning, he notices a men’s high school ring sitting on Amy’s dresser. The ring belongs to Amy’s longtime guy friend, Peter. Although intrigued at first, John ultimately thinks nothing of it; he thinks her friend might have just innocently left it at the bar the last time they hung out. Once dressed, John kisses his girlfriend and leaves for the day.

The flashback to the morning thus leaves open the question: was the whole story just a bad dream or a foreshadowing of things to come?
