Living Hell

—SAMPLE—

We hear mechanical burr, green light on the UP elevator lights and MARK and BOBBY rush to it, go down on their knees and pray to it. After a beat green light goes off.

BOBBY

Damn, it never stops man. For over 25 years I’ve been praying for it to stop so I could get out of here. How come it never stops?

MARK

Because you’re here, don’t you understand? You’re going down man, to hell, where all you half-assed singers go and I’m going where I belong, up! If you weren’t here, I can assure you it would have stopped for me long ago, because my old man put a good word in for me, even though I… You never had a father did you? That’s why I’m going where you’re not, heaven.
