Roommate Acts as if She Lives Alone: A Dramatic Play in Two Acts

ACT I:

The Scene: It was a dark and stormy night (literally). A small apartment near downtown Salt Lake City where three young women live is the focus of this story. Roommate S is at the computer in the corner of the living room.

Enter: Allison returning home from a night of being ignored at her ward Family Home Evening.

Allison: "Hey S, how's it going.....?" (The end of the sentence trailing off as Allison realizes what her roommate is wearing: A blue t-shirt, and ONLY a blue t-shirt, which her roommate has pulled down to cover her posterior.)

S: "Good"

S exits stage right, down the hall and into her bedroom, pulling down her t-shirt as she walks. Allison avoids eye contact, and in fact turns head to avoid looking in that unpleasant direction.

ACT II:

The scene: It is now two months later and Allison's lease is finally up and she is living anywhere else.

Ok, it's not Shakespeare, but I think that the final act is brilliant. It nearly brought me to tears thinking about it.
