A/N: This is a play. Honestly it kind of ended up as a mickey take of Hamlet, so enjoy.


Narrator: In a tale of recklessness, anger, hate, and tragedy, there is much time for stupidity. You can see it everywhere. Us humans absolutely suck at being human!

Narrator 2: Well, yeah, but it's not a tragic tale. You don't have to say it like it's so bad-

*in walks William, and his friend Harry*

William: So anyway, I grabbed the hatchet from under my pillow-

Harry: What about the dagger in your sink?

William: She took that, too!

*Suddenly, in a rush, in runs Harry's sister*

Narrator: Sheesh, what's her deal? 

*Narrator 2 swats Narrator over the back of the head, sending them toppling over the side of the stage*

Harry: Gwen! Whatever is the matter?!

Gwen: *In between sobs* She's dead!

William: Who?!

*Narrator climbs back onto the stage, everyone ignores them even if they struggle*

Gwen: Our mother!

Harry: What?! How could this be?!

*William turns to the audience with a guilty look on his face*

Gwen: I don't know! Nobody was with her!

William: How did she die? Did you see?

Gwen: A dagger was embedded into her neck!

*Harry turns to face William*

*William raises his hands in defence, taking a step back, suddenly sprinting off stage a moment later, followed quickly by Harry*
