My sister Sharon is in my "an" backyard. She is the CURRENT queen of her country, as evidenced by the golden crown on her head. However, she always worries that someone will try to usurp her place, so she sits on her throne in the backyard and looks through a telescope to spy on her people, in order to thwart any CURRENTLY developing revolt.

My xi actress is in the backyard of my -an set. She’s currently in Coronavirus lockdown and she can see a current event happening down the street. What is happening? It’s too far away. She gets out her telescope but the telescope keeps flopping forward in the stand. She then gets a sceptre and props up the telescope end and proceeds to watch the current event unfolding before her eyes.

Shakira is using the bathroom in my aunt's house. She's reading the current news while sitting on the toilet. The letters are too small so she gets a magnifying glass. She then realises the news on the left page are about the king and his current affair.

Sharon Stone walks into the backyard of my -an set, announcing "I am looking for the CURRENT king of this area!" She pulls out a magnifying glass and examines a skeleton with a crown on it. "Nope".

Then she walks over and examines a baby with a crown crawling around. "Nope"

She turns around and sees the Burger King sitting on a throne and walks over. She holds up the magnifying glass to examine him and exclaims "You are the CURRENT king!"

I wanted something very visual, so my actor gets pulled into a fast moving river, she can't escape the current.
