Play-a-Day Saturday (Week 4)

Generation


[A girl is walking down a street. She has torn and dirty clothes on, looks tired, weary and hungry. She shuffles over to a dumpster and lifts the lid. Not being able ot see over the tap she finds a trashcan and flips it over. Stepping up on the trashcan she peers into the dumpster. She moves things around and shovels through garbage. Finally she finds a half-eaten muffin, she tears the rest of the wrapper off and stuffs it into ther mouth. She sighs and slumps her back against the dumpster, sitting on the trashcan. After she swallows she peers at the wrapper in her hand. She makes a sound of disgust and throws it.]

Girl:
[Looking at her dirty hands] Look at you.
[The girl gets up and clutches her torn jacket closer to her body.]
Girl:
I think it's time to go home.
[The girl shuffles away from the dumpster and down the street. Lights fade.]
