Creative Writing Contest Winner: Loss by Brayden Ford For what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? The story follows John, a veteran professional football player torn between retirement and one more season, and his wife, Susan, as they attempt to track down Ron, John’s former teammate and mentor, and get to the bottom of Ron’s increasingly erratic and violent behavior. ‘Loss’ is a thriller set against the backdrop of football’s brain trauma epidemic.
Brayden’s screenplay, “Loss,” was written in Professor Katina Sossiadis Bozikis’s Introduction to Cinema class. Use a QR Reader on your electronic device to watch a scene from the script, performed by Penn State Lehigh Valley students.
