thursday: a one-act play

SCENE: Bedroom, mid-morning. STEENA is sleeping. THE B enters the bedroom.

THE B
You should get up so we can eat breakfast.

STEENA
(blinks) 
Ok--okay. Hang on.

STEENA sits on the edge of the bed, blinking. She reaches for her phone. A notification catches her eye.

STEENA
Did you send me a text message a minute ago?

THE B
Yes.

STEENA
(reads aloud)
"You should get up so we can eat breakfast."

THE B
I hoped it would beep and wake you up. So we can eat breakfast.
