I’ve signed up for the 31 Plays in 31 Days project, committing myself to daily playwriting throughout the month of August. The project includes a five-day warmup of 256-(alpha-numeric)-character plays. Here’s today’s warmup play:

WIFE: Look at this! Just LOOK.
COP: We’ll need an inventory.
W: Of stuff I might not remember. Great.
C: I don’t make the rules.
W: And why’d they have to make such a mess?
C: Choosy, I guess.
W: Oh, and THIS necklace wasn’t good enough for them!
