Spaghetti Created by Markice Moore Written by Markice Moore and Dempsey Gibson SPAGHETTI - (PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR/THRILLER) Written by Dempsey Gibson (WGA) and Markice Moore (WGA) Lena Simon. 24, African American, is often compared to Jasmine Guy from "A Different World." Lena is a traveling nurse by profession and is from a small town in Texas. Her only family are two brothers. Lawrence, 36 the oldest sibling and a bounty hunter living in LA. The younger brother nicknamed "Meatball" is her fraternal twin. She has a deep bond with him despite his being an ex con who served 6 years for armed robbery. Their parents were killed in a house fire when she was 19. The cause was lint in the dryer. Lena used the dryer that day and didn't clean the lint screen. She has always blamed herself. The guilt she carries manifests itself in the form of nightmares almost every night. The reason she took her job is because travel sometimes helps with the pain. She tries to outrun her nightmares...she never does for long. Lena's latest nursing assignment is in Los Angeles. Lawrence is excited to have his baby sister living close again. Lena is hopeful this could be the move that helps her bury the past. As she settles into another new apartment she quickly becomes very close with her neighbor, Toni Crawford. Toni is a 27 year old flamboyant, transitioning gay male who is thrilled to have someone new in his phone that can be introduced to Los Angeles with him as tour guide to the good and the unsavory. Through her new job position Lena meets a 32 year old African American business owner and motivational speaker, Scotty Sharpe. Scotty sweeps Lena off her feet from moment one. It's not long before the two are lovers and everything in her life for the first time in a very long time is good. She's even able to sleep at night, most nights, without waking in a cold sweat. The last time Lena approached this feeling was two years prior. She was ready to trust again until she caught her man cheating with a white woman named Kelly in their bed. While out with Toni, Lena spots Scotty with another woman, a white woman. Scotty and the lady are having drinks together at a restaurant/bar. Lena confronts the two and without giving Scotty time to explain she walks away breaking it off between them. The woman Scotty is with is a real estate agent. He's trying secure a property for Lena as a surprise to help her achieve another business dream. He tried telling her that but in a split second Lena's perception became her reality. A reality with soon to be deadly and regrettable consequences. "Why get over it, when you can get it back!" - Toni Crawford Toni introduces Lena to a world she is unprepared for and shocked he knows anything about, let alone practices - voodoo and his priestess, MaMa Ti'Mun. Lena is reluctant at first but desperation wins over. As angry as she is at Scotty she doesn't want to lose out to another woman again. Consequences be damned - and they will be. Lena follows the instruction given by MaMa and after Scotty accepts her invitation for an "I'm sorry" dinner, Lena makes his favorite meal, Spaghetti but after feeding her man a plate of pasta and tomato sauce mixed with voodoo spells and minstrel blood he's no longer the reason she sleeps peacefully at night, he's the reason she can no longer close her eyes.
