Actor : Freddie Mercury
Set : My Anatomy Lab
Props : Olympic torch, Page torn from a book
Freddie Mercury was meticulously writing songs at the hallway of my anatomy lab, enjoying the peace and quiet that he needed in order to concentrate.
Suddenly Rami Malek entered the the room, holding an Olympic Torch in one hand and a script book in another, practicing "We Are The Champions" out loud. He was surprised to see Freddie in the room; explained that he's playing him in a movie and kept on asking him to correct his singing.
Freddie was annoyed with the fact that an actor, who couldn't carry a tune was being paid to play a fake version of himself.
Rami continued to sing off-key, slighly off-beat, driving Freddie up the wall.
Freddie then snatched the script book from Rami's hand, tore out a few pages and set them on fire using the Olympic torch.
Rami, scared, quickly left the scene, and Freddie went back to writing.
He then reflected on what just happened - it was so bizarre, that he wondered if it was real life or just fantasy.

Fred (f-) is in the bathroom on his Samsung Note Phone at Olivia’s (-an) trying to figure out if he had been hacked. Everytime he has his cigar torch lighter (火) in his pocket and visits the Mandarin Blueprint landing page (页) his torch turns on and burns his leg. Okay, this getting too weird and so ANNOYING!

Set: Grandma's House (Kitchen)
Actor: Phil Crimmins
Props: Flamethrower and Constitution

Phil is visiting from China and decides to visit me at my Grandma's house where we engage in a lively debate on the proper function of government. While Phil is a huge statist and wants ever more government involvement in our lives, I point out the limited government principles our founding fathers held to, and I then take out my copy of the Constitution to show him these principles enshrined in our founding documents. Phil becomes increasingly ANNOYED and says to me that I'm ANNOYING for advocating for limited government. Phil then retrieves a flamethrower from his car and burns my copy of the Constitution as well as my grandma's house to the ground all while saying that this is how ANNOYED he is.
