Writing Prompt #33--Hate Mail

You’re a famed martial arts actor/actress, with dozens of mid-ranged movies. Folks recognize your face throughout the world and your bank account’s flush. Then, someone casts you in a non-martial arts movie . . . and you win four awards for the performance. Apparently, you’re a natural! Serious film offers are coming at you right and left. Your family’s geeking out with you at the massive fame-and-fortune opportunities. The roles keep coming and you keep passing on action movies, going with all kinds of other flicks. Some of your more die-hard fans send hate mail, accusing you of betraying them. When publicly asked about the hate mail, you say some careless things. A month later, your house explodes with you and your family inside. Only you survive with mild physical injuries. Here’s the problem: when you find out about your fam, you go nuts. You now belief that you’re one of your past movie characters—a hard-kicking street cop who ignores the rules and prefers gunplay over diplomacy. You steal a real cop’s badge and gun, and then go out for revenge.
What happens next?
