      Talking Truth and Fiction in 'Frank' with Jon Ronson

      Aug 14, 2014

      A surreal film about a bandleader who wears a fake head on top of his own doesn't necessarily scream "true story," but for co-screenwriter Jon Ronson Frank has one major  element of reality.

      Deadly Memory (short story)

      I

      BRIAN AWOKE IN A COLD sweat. A bright flash in the night, the smell of sulfur; someone had been shot, but who? In a few short seconds, the answers to his very existence had flashed before his eyes and then vanished just as quickly.

      The electric door to his room slid open then, and Victor walked in, a smug look on his face as usual.

      The way he acted most of the time, it was as though he thought Brian owed his life to him.

      Bad dream? he asked.

      Yeah, he replied, noticing the nervous raising of Victor's eyebrows, I dreamed you and me were related.

      Funny. He stated in a dry sarcastic tone, although it was obvious from the look on his face that he wanted to backhand him. There were rules against such a thing, but he often wondered with Victor how much those rules meant to him. He seemed like the type to laugh at rules. It might only take a little extra pushing for this man to snap and do something bad.

      "I thought so," Brian mumbled under his breath, shrugging, and wondered what he had ever done to make this man hate him so.

      "So, what did you really have a nightmare about?"

      Dreamed I'd been shot.

      Hmm.

      So what does it mean?

      Doesn't matter. he stated with a fake smile, It was just a dream, right?

      Well then, why the hell did you ask?

      Watch your mouth.

      Hmm, I can't remember the last time I was so sorry.

      Kill the sarcasm; you'll be meeting your mate today.

      What if I don't like her?
