Seven Deadly Sins Vignettes

Common Setting/Situation:​ Sitting in traffic - Barton Creek & Lamar

Pride: ​You roll up at a stoplight, it’s a sunny day, a cool 70 degrees with a nice cool breeze.
You want some attention so you rev up the engine to get others to notice and get people talking.
The car you have is a Spyker C8 only 350 of these cars were imported into the United States.
The car is permanently a convertible. It has a 4.2 liter twin turbo V8 that comes with a roar of an
exhaust that similar to a lions growl. When the light turns green at the intersection, you floor it,
with that you burn rubber as you fly down the streets.

Gluttony: ​You roll up to a stop light and as you come to a stop you reach over your center
console in your 20005 Dodge Neon, to grab your 42oz big red cup you got from the gas station
up the street. The color is white with the clear coat slowing peeling away from years of neglect,
with a couple of dents here and there from being too careless when going through drive-thru’s.
The stoplight turns green, then as you are driving you spot a P. Terry’s and you quickly pull into
the drive-thru. You patiently wait, which feels like forever, you finally get to order your food. You
scan up and down the menu and you land on what you want. You get two double
cheeseburgers with some fries and to wash it down you get a large chocolate milkshake.

Greed: ​You are a car thief, you want to avoid the area of Lamar and Barton Springs because of
the heavy foot traffic and car traffic, don’t want to risk getting caught up. You head further
downtown, keeping an eagle’s eye out for any alleyways or cut throughs that are inactive and
plenty of possible targets. As you are pacing the streets you spot a car that catches your eye.
You see a 2010 Honda CR-V, you swiftly head to the car, take a peek inside, glance at what it
has to offer. You make a quick glance at your surroundings, then you make your move. A quick
hit at the window, it shatters, quickly, you hop inside, open the center console, you take what
first comes into sight, shove it in your bag, and lastly you take the stereo, then right before
anybody comes around the corner, you quickly hop out, and dash for safety.

Envy: ​You have a 2009 Toyota Corolla, driving down lamar, you come to a stoplight, and few
seconds later, a Spyker C8, comes up to your right, your eyes and jaw drop to the floor in
amazement, you immediately want it, you want it so bad, you’ll kill for it. Then you realize your
situation, you won’t be to afford one ever, especially with your burger flipping job at P. Terry’s,
dealing with other people order’s that are bigger than them. You look down and sigh in
disappointment, as you do, you hear the loud roar of the Spyker, it brings you a little joy, but not
enough to bring you out of your slump, and to add insult to injury, the Spyker burns rubber and
fly’s down lamar, as you try to crawl down lamar, your car breaks down.
Sloth:​ You are at stoplight, on your phone, scrolling through instagram, seeing what’s new. The
light turns green, but you don’t notice, you notice that your favorite artist is coming out with a
new album, interested you read more, then you hear a honk, startled, but annoyed your throw
your phone, and flip the guy off behind you. You realize that that the other lane is faster and you
also need to take a left soon, so quickly you swerve into the next lane, no hesitation, no turn
signal, again you hear a honk, again you flip off the guy behind you. You get a notification on
your phone from your friend asking if you wanna stop by their place after they get off work. You
quickly pick up your phone and start texting away, but occasionally looking up ahead, so it’s not
that dangerous, but you don’t realize you are drifting into another lane, acting quickly you move
back into your lane, while hearing a honk, and you flip this guy off as well. You are coming up to
your turn, so you switch lanes swiftly, without looking and you hear a honk from the same car
from earlier. You flip him off again. You take your turn and realize the guy is behind you. You
don’t think twice of this. You pull off to your destination and the guy from earlier comes to a
screeching halt behind you. He gets out of his car, for you to hear, “Hey! Do you know how drive
son?!” You look at him, and you flip him off one last time.

Wrath: ​You are coming from a stoplight and notice a careless driver, being careless as can be.
You are extra cautious of this person, but he is not. He cuts in front of you, only for him to flip
you off. You get very aggravated about this, so you follow, tailgating him, but he doesn’t notice,
he’s on his phone. You see he’s turns into his destination, so you speed up and come to harsh
stop. You get out of your car, very tense, and you scream “Hey! Do you know how drive son?!”
You too stare at each other only for him to flip you off. You get an uncontrollable amount of
rage, and you start to storm towards his direction, you see his face and it’s full of fright and
regret, buts it’s too late. You grab him by the collar and give him a clean right hook, and from
there you can’t stop.

Lust: ​You and your fraternity friends are in your dad’s Mercedes G wagon, you and your friends
come to a stoplight, and see a group of girls walking down the street, minding their business. A
friends points them out and all of you start hollering. The girls notice and y’all start cat calling
them like crazy. Shouting and screaming, without a care about what the girls think. You, driving
start to rev the engine in hopes they like your dads car. The light turns green, you race off fast.
A little to fast, you hit a puddle of you lose traction, unfortunately traction control was turned off,
because your dad disagrees with it and thinks he’s an excellent driver. You try and gain control
but the car already swerving like crazy, a wall is on your right, you are headed straight towards
it. Not enough time to stop, you slam front end into the wall, airbag pops. You just totaled your
dads car.
