The Earsplitting
Chapter 1: You What?!
"You what?!" the doctor shouted in surprised shock as his face clearly showed how unlikely this was.
"You heard me, I want my old face back," Rex calmly stated, " I'm tired of bringing so much pain to my family…Listen, I just want my old life back… please…help me." He pleaded breaking out into silent tears with his head in his hands. Rex Racer, the brother of the widely known Speed Racer, had supposedly died years ago in a car crash in a race through an icy mountain pass. Only known as Racer X, he raced to stop the injustice during all of the races. Outside and Inside. (has to deal with the cheating going on during the tournaments)
"Well, I won't be able to help you…" the plastic surgeon claimed.
"You're the one who did this to my face! What's so hard with putting it BACK?!" Rex jumped up and roared out in frustration and rage immediately after the man spoke. The outburst was like a sudden explosion of a desperate attempt to make him change his mind.
A very determined face replaced the calm, understanding one. "As I was saying before you interrupted… I can't fix it but I know someone who can. Dr. Liasa downtown can help you. She's had a very impressive reputation with cases such as yourself." And with that, he stood up, patted the still standing man on the shoulder, showing some understanding, and quickly left the almost empty waiting room.
The room was filled with rows and rows of stiff, uncomfortable, wooden chairs (cheap place), tiny side tables at the end of each row, and there were extremely, ancient magazines on them. A big mirror also covered an entire wall of the rather large waiting room.
Rex sat down again in the stiff wooden chair, again placing his head back into his hands. His desperate and angry face soon melted into one that was frustrated and solemn. The torture he saw in Speed's eyes on the racetrack killed him, Rex could see the longing and hatred in them. It was even completely obvious that Speed missed his brother a lot, and Rex guessed if it wasn't for the face change he would've been discovered. Rex felt as if his entire heart was just pulled out and dropped into a blender when he saw Speed's eyes. He was the closest to Speed after all. First he felt as if he told him the truth it would endanger his family even more, but with Speed being the driver, it wasn't surprising at all that he did it without Rex's help. That was all that was needed to show what a complete and total idiot he was to have put his family in a position that they weren't meant to be in. He attended his own funeral without them knowing, changed his face, changed his whole persona, and found out recently that he had another brother with an awkward little monkey, Spritle and Chim Chim, who were extremely terrified of Racer X and wouldn't talk to him like he was any other person. That was why he wanted his life back.
Rex thought he had it all together, that if he just disappeared it would make life easier on his family. He was such a skunk bag for believing everything was okay between him and his family. Sure, he had added being a "secret agent" to his resume, but now he just wished to be with his family again. His denial, his selfishness had caused him to take a wrong turn on the road of his life. With his head hanging a bit, Rex Racer got up and started for the door. But when he looked up at the mirror right in front of him, he began to get angry at the image that mimicked everything he did. That face wasn't his, the one that was remembered and well-known. And with that tantrum, he stomped out of the waiting room with all of his regrets tagging along behind him.
This is from the movie Speed Racer. Loved it! You really get into it, as if you're really there.
Suggestion- SEE IT!! It's a lot better than I thought!
Trust ME you'll LOVE IT!!
Anyways: I chose the complication of Racer X's Face, not because it was the most important, but it was one of the things keeping him from his family.
