A Play in One Act
Setting: a room with a bed
Cast of Characters:
NARRATOR, the voice of reason
CHORUS, a multitude (off stage)
WHISPER, sly, vicious (off stage)
SUBJECT, a lone figure, mute
ACT 1, SCENE 1
| [NARRATOR stands alone holding a sheet of paper.] | |
| NARRATOR | [Reading from paper] The fine print. Item one: the other party is not responsible for your faulty inferences. |
| CHORUS | Grow the fuck up. |
| WHISPER | No one wants to be your friend. |
| NARRATOR | Item two: any resultant hurt or obscure sense of betrayal is caused solely by your own misguided attempts to form unsolicited connection. |
| CHORUS | This is the way things are. |
| WHISPER | Get used to it. |
| NARRATOR | Item three: your resentment and desire to inflict hurt in return are unwarranted, petty, and childish. |
| [Exit NARRATOR. Spot shines on bed where SUBJECT sits.] | |
| CHORUS | Here is the bed you made. |
| WHISPER | Now lie in it. |
| [SUBJECT remains motionless for an unspecified period. Blackout.] | |
| WHISPER | Lie in it, liar. |
| WHISPER | Lie. |
