A Stormy Halloween



M: (In the kitchen. Yawning). How can anyone sleep with this storm going on! Hey, what's this? Footprints? Hey, why's the back door open?



F: Oh no. I think someone broke in the house!



M: Whaaah! Oh, you startled me. Wait, really?



F: Yes! Quick! Do something and call for help! I'll go look outside. It could still be here!



M: OK. Hey, wait. Where'd you get that? What's that, a pipe?



F: Never mind that! Hurry!



M: OK, OK! (on phone) Hello? Yes, I think there's a break in. Yes, we live at 564 Elm Street. Thank you. Please hurry!



F: (Groans like a zombie)



M: EEEEEEEEEEEEE! Stay away from me, zombie!



F: Zombie? I'm just tired. See, this is why I told you not to watch so many horror movies recently!



M: Oh. Well I… OK. The break-in just has me on edge.



F: Break in? What are you talking about?



M: I just got done calling the police. They should be here any minute now.



F: How did you do that when the power's been out all night? I heard a bang while you were sleeping, and looks like the circuit breaker is busted.



M: Wait… what? No power? You told me to call the police in the first place! What about the footprints?



F: How much sleep did you get? Do you mean MY footprints from coming in and out of the house?



M: Those were yours?



F: OK, I'm too tired to put up with you right now. Good night. Get some sleep would you?



M: No no no no no don't leave me alone, Maria! Hey, what's going on!? (silence) Maria? (bang) (silence)
