A New Master

Setting:

The front yard of the Smith estate, bathed in the soft glow of morning light. Nathan and James stand beside Jamal, their expressions filled with smug satisfaction as they await the arrival of the new owners. Jamal stands before them, his body naked and ****, his spirit worn but unbroken.

Characters:

Jamal Smith: The 18-year-old black boy, sold into servitude once again, his fate now in the hands of a new master.

Nathan: The sadistic overseer, responsible for Jamal's suffering and degradation.

James: Nathan's accomplice, eager to continue their reign of cruelty.

David Charlie: The new owner of Jamal, a young black man who witnessed Jamal's torment and vowed to make a difference.

Emily Smith: The matriarch of the Smith family, a silent spectator to the transaction.

Scene:

The camera opens to the front yard of the Smith estate, where Nathan and James stand beside Jamal, their faces twisted with malice as they prepare to hand him over to his new owners. Jamal stands before them, his body tense with anticipation, his eyes fixed on the horizon.

Nathan: (smirking) Well, Jamal, it looks like you've got yourself a new master. I hope you'll be on your best behavior for the Charlie family.

Jamal's jaw clenches as he suppresses the urge to lash out at Nathan and James. He knows that any sign of defiance will only invite further punishment.

Jamal: (resigned) Yes, Master Nathan. I understand.

Just then, a car pulls up to the curb, and a young black boy steps out, his eyes filled with determination. It's David Charlie, the same boy who witnessed Jamal's torment in the barn.

David: (firmly) I'm here for Jamal Smith. I've come to take him home with me.

Nathan and James exchange a knowing glance before gesturing towards Jamal.

Nathan: (smirking) He's all yours, David. Consider him a bargain at $100,000.

David's gaze hardens as he steps forward to stand before Jamal. His eyes meet Jamal's, and for a moment, there is a silent understanding between them.

David: (to Jamal) My name is David Charlie. You're coming home with me now.

Jamal nods silently, his heart heavy with uncertainty but also with a glimmer of hope. Perhaps this new master will be different, he thinks.

Nathan: (chuckling) Well, it looks like we're done here. Enjoy your new ****, David.

With that, Nathan and James turn and walk back towards the mansion, leaving Jamal and David standing alone in the yard.

David: (to Jamal) Come on. Let's get you out of here.

As Jamal follows David towards the waiting car, he casts one last glance back at the Smith estate, his heart heavy with the memories of the suffering he endured within those walls. But as the car pulls away, carrying him towards an uncertain future, Jamal feels a glimmer of hope stirring within him. Perhaps with David Charlie as his new master, there is a chance for redemption and freedom.
