The Intruder
Scene:
It’s 3am at the Hotel Fifty. Only the rumble of the train and the roar of the traffic disturbs the silence of the over-active air-conditioner. Our hero is sleeping softly.
*door creaks*
*door slams*
Mysterious Stranger: Fuck! What is this shit??!
Our hero awakes. Startled by the noise and the stranger in his room, he sits bolt upright in his bed.
*stranger disrobes*
Our Hero: Who the fuck are you?
Stranger: Who the fuck are YOU?
Our hero gets out of bed wearing his usual sleeping attire, which is to say: nothing.
Our Hero: Get the fuck out of my room!
*Stranger jabs finger at our hero’s naked chest*
Stranger: No! YOU get the fuck out of MY room!
Our hero and the stranger are now eyeball to eyeball. It is evident that the stranger is very, very drunk.
Our Hero: You need to leave, RIGHT NOW!
Stranger: No! YOU need to leave right now!
Dialog continues in this vein for several minutes before….
Stranger: Fuck this! I am going to bed!
Stranger gets in Our Hero’s bed.
Our hero calls the front desk…
Our Hero (agitated): There is an intruder in my room.
