Forgetfullness.

Lights rise to reveal a very messy apartment with clothes strewn about, pans strewn about the top of the stove, the bedroom with unfinished and finished drawings alike scattered about. In from stage left enters a frantic looking man, he first looks around and locates a large duffel bag amidst the cloths on his bedroom floor. He then begins shoving some of that clothing into said duffel bag, before moving on to grab his Phone of the counter and shove that in his bag. Going to the cabinets and starts to throw all sorts of cans of food into his bag. He runs quickly to the bathroom and proceeds to grab the bare essentials, including tooth brush, deodorant, and shampoo. He then takes a minute to look over the entirety of the apartment, this time much more meticulously, to find anything that he missed. After being satisfied he grabs his coat off a hanger, swings it on, makes sure he has his wallet in his back pocket, and heads back out the door, bag in hand. Lights fade except for a single spotlight focused on his keys dangling off a hanger directly center stage in plain view from practically anywhere in the apartment. After a moment, that last light fades.


Fin.
