Oneactplay Stories

A large, dark stage. Bare stone floor. Three pillars, broken and leaning inward, frame the stage like the ruins of an old temple. Faint torchlight. Wind moans low like a sleeping beast. At center stage: SEEEKER stands, draped in worn black robes. NONCONTENDER emerges from a side aisle. The Seeker is as his name tells, someone who seeks attention, affection and the growth of the relationship he has with the Noncontender. While the Seeker is showing his love, the Noncontender prideful, arrogant, unaware of what he could had, didn't saw love when he was searching for it under his nose.

"Deep in the emptiness of Pennsylvania there lies a tiny town. A town called Nightmare. Of it's few townsfolk- none know the story of how it got its most peculiar name, and while it isn't exactly a nightmare for the people who live there; the town does live up to its name in other ways. You see; for the townsfolk of Nightmare life is particularly mundane most of the time. Sally-Mae Johnson runs the beauty shop, Billy Smith manages the only 7/11 in town, Carter Martin bags groceries at the mom and pop store next to the community playground, and so on... life is relatively simple for the people who live in a town called Nightmare- or they've gotten used to the strange parts; at the very least."
