WILLY AND HIS EVIL TWIN
Willy, sunglasses on, is cycling down an industrial area. Everything is grey and cold. He’s dressed in a pale tracksuit.  His bicycle is battered and has a flat. It’s way too small for him.
He arrives a karate dojo. As he steps up a student rolls out of the doorway. He’s injured. Willy goes to help him up, but the man freaks out at the sight of him and runs off.
Curious Willy walks in and sees another man but wearing a black karate outfit punching a speedball/punching bag. Willy shouts out and the man turns around. Willy freaks. The man looks exactly like him. He’s even got the same sunglasses.
The man, Evil Willy, looks him up and down and challenges him to a fight. Willy is a little bit reluctant but agrees. They begin to fight.
In no time at all, Willy is being knocked on his back. He gets up but Willy knocks him down again and again and again.
Evil Willy stands over him, victorious and preens himself like a proud rooster.
Willy, humiliated, gets up and limps to the doorway but as he does he declares revenge. Evil Willy laughs.
He tries to ride his bike but he falls off and throws it away.
Later, in the bamboo forest, he sees a Buddhist man meditating. The Buddha smiles and offers him to sit with him.
They meditate together and Willy has an epiphany that shoots from his third eye. He’s singing and dancing with his crew who pat him on the back and tell him how much they love him. In this fantasy, the Buddha teaches him about self-belief and self-love (lots of pointing to the heart).
Emboldened, Willy heads back to the dojo to confronts Evil Willy. As Evil Willy goes to hit him, Willy takes a long meditative breath, thinks about the Buddha, and ducks the punch and kicks Evil Willy across the room, streams of ‘visual power’ shooting from his foot..
Evil Willy gets ups and tries to kick Willy but he merely sidesteps and Evil Willy crashes into a rubbish bin. Angry now, Evil Willy runs at him and again but Willy defeats his every move. Willy takes a long breath and twists his arm till Evil Willy falls to the ground. Evil Willy taps out and Willy bows and leaves.
As Willy steps out he’s suddenly funked up and his crew are waiting out the front with a new low rider bicycle. He thanks them and they go for a long ride on St.Kilda beach, smiling.
