It's Not A Real Life

The phone rings. Carrey picks it up and holds it to her ear. 1

"Momma? Momma? Is that you Momma?"2

She strains to hear the distant voice.3

"Carrey dahling, it's Momma."4

"Oh Mamma where are you? I thought you were lost on a deserted island..."5

"Carrey, listen to Mamma, I am on a deserted island and I don't know where, but I found this phone booth in the woods and I had to call you. Listen carefully to me, you can't marry Richard today. Don't go to the chapel. Stay away."6

"But why Mamma? I love him so much and he loves me. He is my everything. He has been by my side ever since we got the news that you were lost."7

"Listen Carrey honey, you can't marry Richard because........"8

In another part of town, Richard and his best man were seated in a booth at the Rambling Rose, having a drink before it was time to go to the chapel.9

Playing with the beer bottle between his hands, Ryan looked straight into Richard's eyes. 10

"Richard, you have to tell Carrey your news before the ceremony."11

"Ryan how can I? After this long how do I tell her that in my past life I was her great, great, great, great, great Auntie Sue? She would call the marriage off. No, I can't tell her."12

"What if she found out some other way? She would never trust you again."13

"Ryan, are you blackmailing me?"14

"No Richard, I would never think of something like that. But since you thought of it, $10,000 in unmarked bills by three would help keep my mouth shut."15

As dark, sinister music begins to play to end this scene, both men look up trying to figure out where it was coming from as the jukebox was only a painted old refrigerator box used for decoration.16

Holding her hand against her forehead, Carrey held the phone tightly in her hand, clasping onto it as if it were her lifeline.  17

"Momma, please why can't I marry Richard? Besides Albert, Bill, Charles, Daniel, Ethan, Frank, George, Harry, Issac, Jack, Kenneth, Lionel, Miles, Nathan, Opie, and Quasar, he is the best thing to have ever happened to me."18

"Honey, I never told you this, and I was hoping I would never have to, but it is something that happened long before you were born, well at least a month or two before you were born."19

"What? What?"20

"Before you were born, I had a son, I can't remember how old he was, one day he was a baby, and then a month later he was walking and talking. A few months after that, he just disappeared, was never heard from again."21

"I have a brother?"22

"Yes baby, you do."23

"What does this have to do with Richard? Why can't I marry him?"24

Will Richard come up with the money to shut Ryan's mouth? What is the secret that Momma has for Carrey? What does the secret have to do with Richard? Tune in next time for the answers on 25
