LorDee (Loralie DeSilva) = Presidential hopeful Ned Nuckledd = Vice Presidential hopeful (with LorDee) Skar = Pons' clone and campaign worker Pons Maninoff = keeps Skar on a short leash MauMau= media coordinator Betty: = campaign manager AA (Abecedari Ann) = Poet Laureate Fox Fine: Detective Felix Fine: Detective Lowell Wrent = Fox News reporter Bull Schlitz = Police Inspector Lt. D'weir = homicide investigator Zombie GED: = brain eater DED = Agent of Death D-red = Agent of Death of vermin ------------------------------------------------------- Previously, Zora Abebe, Abracada Brah, and the missing GED are thought to be victims of a vengeful Loralie DeSilva.   Both Ned and Betty Biggins are suspected of being accessories. Zombie GED has made an appearence.  The scene opens with Zombie GED plodding in from the left shocking nearly everyone.   AA : GED! Are you all right? Fox : Are you injured? Felix : You know, I noticed a shower in the bathroom area. Skar : He does not look a hundred percent. C'mon, Dude! What's wrong with you? Pons : (stepping up to GED) Let us help you, man.   Zombie GED: Brains!!    Pons : Wow! GED, your breath smells like butt, man.    Zombie GED: Brains!!  Fox : He's trying to tell us something. Felix : He seems to want brains. Are we sure this isn't Nuckledd?  Skar : He might have brain damage.   Felix : Nuckledd, for sure. What about this guy?  MauMau: I think he is responsible for Queen Zora Abebe's demise.  AA : Not GED. I could never believe that.   MauMau races forward and grabs GED in a bear hug.    MauMau: You will pay, demon!   Zombie GED plunges his mouth onto the right side of MauMau's head and bites off his eyebrow, then  ripping it away from the man's face.  MauMau screams, breaks free, and runs in the opposite direction.    AA : Okay, well. I guess maybe I could be convinced.   Felix : He's got rabies!   Skar : He's got brain damage at a minimum.    Pons : You all need to get away from here.   Fox : What about you?   Pons : GED's my friend, I need to see that he is taken care of.   Fox : I'll do what I can to help.   Felix : I'll be your witness for the Fox News broadcast. The one who survived.   Skar : (to Pons) Well, if you're staying I'm staying,  Felix : Are you talking to Maninoff, or your fellow clone there, Ponsclone?   Skar : Both of them, Fine. Now shove off or you'll be witnessing your own ass-kicking.     Felix : Big talk from a sloppy copy.   Skar and Felix begin wrestling on the floor.   Zombie GED: Brains!!    Fox : Wow! I can't believe I was distracted from this.   AA : I don't know whether to stay with you fellas and help or run off screaming.    Everyone except GED freezes in place, as DED and D-red enter from the left.   DED: This is quite a mess you have created.   D-red: I was just stretching my abilities into new areas. I think I'm well past collecting bugs and mice. I should be creating drama here, like this.    DED: (addressing GED) What do you think GED?   Zombie GED: Brains!!    D-red: He seems happy.   DED: GED, your time here is over. You are past all this and are in my care now.   D-red: Don't you just send him on to his -- reward?    DED: I feel both GED and I can learn from each other over time.    D-red: Well, sure. Okay. I will find another likely replacement for my zombie.    DED grabs D-red's cloak and strips it from him, like pulling a tablecloth out from under a setting of  plates, leaving him standing in off-white boxer shorts. DED then wraps the cloak around GED.     D-red: I suppose I can't influence moods anymore or make zombies.   DED: Vermin for you, D-red. It is your highest level of incompetency.   D-red: What about a cloak?   DED: (hands D-red something folded up) Here is a disposable, pink, transparent rain poncho from the local baseball stadium.    D-red: (with a sneer) Great.   DED: (to GED) Shall we go?   D-ged: Whatever you say.    The three exit where they entered and the others unfreeze. Skar and Felix resume wrestling.    Pons : I'm going downtown and check on Ned. I still need to call our lawyer. (steps off)   Fox : I'll check with the police on what they've turned up. (steps off)   AA : I feel a poem coming on:   Each person's tale is their own separate trail, it can neither be bested or be made to fail; we will all get our gettings and forget regrettings, until sun is setting past the tears of the vale.     Skar and Felix continue wrestling on the floor.     To be continued...     Write A Review Image from Google Pays one point and 2 member cents.
