{Create every day.}

Word/Play’s most recent installment challenged our sweet members to play on the word “BRIGHT.” I personally opted to pay homage to the LiteBrite but major props to Ashley’s “Life through the eyes of an Insufferable Hipster.”

-BRIGHT installment.
Benjamin Teh

TOM yawns.

TOM
So, what happened while I was gone?

He sees the box trapped in the circle of salt.

TOM
Oh, damn it to hell. Brent’s still alive?

AMANDA and SUSAN both point their fingers at each other.

BOTH
Her fault.

They look at each other.

BOTH
You bitch.

TOM
I was all puckish and everything. Oh well. Okay, so how do we get the box out of the circle? I can’t touch it.

AMANDA
Neither can I.

SUSAN
Me three.

TOM
So, do we get Brent to take it out for us?

AMANDA
Susan could ask him.

TOM
You mean, Susan could force him.

AMANDA
I mean, Susan could threaten celibacy.

SUSAN
Excuse me, me and my lady parts are right here.

TOM
So what?

SUSAN
Well, we would appreciate it if you would talk to us, instead of talking as if we’re not here.

AMANDA
Hey, wait a minute. Tom, you can’t cross the salt?

TOM gives SUSAN a look.

TOM
Not since the fairy incident.

AMANDA
Man, one day, woman, you’re gonna have to explain this fairy incident to me.

SUSAN
TOM!!!

TOM
What? It’s not my fault.

SUSAN looks at AMANDA grumpily.

SUSAN
Okay fine. This is what happened.

SUSAN folds her arms and sits on the floor next to the box, still
trapped in the salt circle.

AMANDA
Go on.

-fin.
