Radical.

Lights rise to reveal many tall men wearing boring dark similar clothes staring at a doorway. The door opens and all the men tense up. Through the door steps a tall man wearing similar clothes, walking slowly, drowsily. The men who were waiting relax, and guide the newcomer into their ranks. Everyone watches as the newcomer overcomes his drowsiness, and then they all, including the newcomer turn their attention once again at the door. After a moment the door opens. All the men tense up. Through the door steps a tall man wearing similar clothes but with a neat dark hat, walking slowly, drowsily. The men who were waiting look perplexed. One steps up and takes the mans hat, opens the door, and tosses it out. The men who were waiting relax, and guide the newcomer into their ranks. Everyone watches as the newcomer overcomes his drowsiness, and then they all, including the newcomer turn their attention once again at the door. The door opens and all the men tense up. Through the door steps a short brightly clothed man wearing the previous mans hat walking slowly, drowsily. The men who were waiting are frozen in horror. As soon as the brightly colored man starts to regain focus, one of the drab men rushes forward to try and push him back through the door. Upon being forced, the brightly colored man responds by resisting. When the drab man cannot force him by himself, all the others swarm around him and push him crying back through the door, and close it franticly. All the drab men sigh and wipe sweat from their brows, and then they all, turn their attention once again at the door. Lights fade.


Fin.
