[Original Play] Nine to Twenty-Four Months

I wrote this for my college's first literature magazine last December. It was put into the magazine along with one other play. This one won the Editor's Choice Award. The basic plot is fairly simple: it's a one act play that has two terminally ill patients discussing one of their future funeral. I thought the idea of the two view points would be interesting to write. The result was this play: a discussion between Tom and Lena about Tom's funeral, when he is actually the one with the greatest chance of actually surviving longer. The gang in my Creative Writing class called it, "darkly funny" with characters who were "funny in a place where humor shouldn't exist."
