62 out 365

CAST:
David, 30s
Kelli, 20s
Merri, 20s
Bradli, 40s

(Lights up on David at his desk at work typing away at his keyboard. He has a bandage on his right thumb. At the desk next to him is Kelli, also at work. Merri enters carrying a few files.)

KELLI
Hey, David. I forgot to ask. How was your weekend?

DAVID (slightly exasperated)
Uh, read my blog, Kelli.

KELLI
O-kay.

MERRI
Here are those files, David. Hey, what happened to your thumb?

DAVID (slightly more exasperated)
Uh, read my blog, Merri. It’s all there. Go to a-giant-among-men-dot-blogspot-dot-com. Sheesh!

(Kelli and Merri exchange puzzled looks. Bradli enters.)

BRADLI
Hey, David. Guess what?

DAVID (very exasperated)
If you read my blog, Bradli, you’d know I don’t like guessing games.

BRADLI
I read your blog. Especially all the parts about how everyone you work with is an intellectually retarded incompetent asshole with turnip mush for brains. Clean out your desk. You’re fired.

DAVID (excited)
You read my blog?

(Blackout)
