Too Depressing for Words

Frank has a problem. A writing problem. He lives through his days at a miserable job just to get home so he can write the perfect romantic comedy. Problem is, he suffers from writer's block. His heroine, Artice, who is clearly infatuated with his hero, Earnest, always seems to utter a fateful line during their time together. Yes, it's all too depressing for words, and that fact shuts Frank down completely. What's a poor, lonely lovelorn writer to do? Get the girl, of course! And so, he does. Because as Frank's frustration with his daily life and his writer's block take hold, a funny thing begins to happen. His failed play starts to intrude on his life until he can't tell the difference between the two any longer. And then things get weird.
