“Angel Of God” (drama) 2 minutes

Character: FRANCIS
Description:  Francis talks about a special boy he once saw at a diner that changed his way of thinking forever.
Gender: Male
Age:  45  

I was sitting down at the diner by myself the other day and I caught a crying attack.  I was always aware of the phrase called “laughing attack” but I never knew “crying attacks” existed. 

I was about to dig in to a nice big breakfast.  I had my paper, I had my coffee, I was feeling great.  Then I see this family come walking in, a mother, a father, a young boy and they all seem happy.  They sit down right across from me.  Then a moment goes by and I see this little boy come in.  What struck me was the fact that he was wearing those hand crutches.  You know, the ones that get attached to your arms so you won’t lose your balance and you can walk.  This kid must have been about ten years old.  And as he walked closer to his family, I noticed that he was also slightly disfigured.  One of his eyes it appeared he was blind out of and his jaw was shifted over to one side in an unnatural position. 

But what amazed me was the strength this little boy showed.  He walked with confidence and authority and…(clears throat)  It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life.  This was it in a nutshell, the power of the human spirit, right in front of me, teaching me what existence was all about, in this tiny little fella.  I watched him as he sat down next to his family.  And that’s when I took a closer look at the family.  I looked at the mother and I could see the pain in her face.  I looked at the father and I could see his horror.  I looked at the other boy and I could witness his embarrassment.  But they all had this great love amongst eachother and that was so remarkable to me and special.  I felt blessed to see this.

And I, I just couldn’t stand it.  There are days when I complain and get aggrivated about things that happen in my life and here was this young man, proving me to be a fool.  I broke down right there.  I cried as quietly as I could.  I tried my best not to show it in public.  I used my newspaper to hide my face and then I went to the bathroom to try and get a grip of myself. 

Whenever I think of my life taking a hard turn, I’m going to think about that little man I was lucky enough to see.  We should all learn from that boy, he was and is an angel of God.

“Against The Negativity” (drama) Under 1 Minute

Character: JESSE
Description:  Jesse talks briefly about what motivates him in his career.  The actor must use his imagination and decide what that career is, I am deliberately leaving that option open for the actor. 
Gender: Male
Age:  27 

There’s alot of people out there that want to see me fail.  Alot of haters out there.  I won’t lie, it hurts.  It hurts deep.  But you know something?  I have too much passion in my heart.  I have too much love in my soul and the people that do believe in me, I do it for them.  The last thing I ever want to do, is let my loved ones down.  Whenever I think about giving up, I see their faces.  My loved ones are my truest inspiration.  I do get inspired by other things like nature and I do get motivated by the haters but it really all comes down to wanting to be able to do something worthwhile on this planet before I’m gone.

“What A Marriage” (drama) 1 minute

Character: KRYSTAL
Description:  Krystal talks to her friend about her cheating husband.
Gender: Female
Age:  27   

What’s worse than coming home and finding your man sleeping with another woman?  I’ll tell you.  Finding out that the woman he’s fucking is your best friend.  I couldn’t even stand when I saw her face pop up from the sheets.  (beat)  What did I do?  What did I do?!  I fucking ran straight at the bed and dove on her and started punching her fucking face in, is what I did.  I got her really good too.  I hit her dead in her jaw and I heard a pop.  I knew I broke her jaw.  She screamed in pain, that hoe.

David threw me off of the bed.  And then I started attacking him!  I cut him with my fingernails all across his face.  I hope it scars him forever.  I called my brother and he came flying over to the house but by then David and the cunt left.  I was and still am in utter shock!

After I calmed down I saw Davids skin under my fingernails.  That bastard!  I’m getting a divorce, I already made arrangements with my lawyer and I am going to drain his ass for everything he’s got!  I am taking everything, the car, the house, EVERYTHING.  I’ll teach that bastard to fuck with a good woman.

I’ve done everything for that man.  I gave him the best part of me!  And this is the respect and love I get back.  I am seeing a therapist because this is just too hard to wrap my head around by myself.  My therapist is really helping me out with this.  Thank God.  And thank God for my family.  If it wasn’t for my brother I think I would have committed murder or would have done some harm to myself.  Thank God.

You never think it’s going to happen to you.  I know that sounds like a cliche but it’s true.  You know, you see those commercials on t.v. for this or that, “I never thought it could happen to me” and your sitting on your couch thinking the same exact thing.  Meanwhile your husband is out busy drilling your best friend. 

Awwww God, I hope I am strong enough to get through this.  I really do…
