MEET SIMON

Act 1 INTRO

Meet Simon

Act 1 INTRO

He had one cup of coffee, during his lunch break. Blended perfect, roasted perfect, or so he warned the cute girl serving him. ” DAMN GOOD!” and as he walked out the back door he ran into a brown box.

Simon: Damn good coffee, I hate Mondays ,

Waitress: Sir you forgot your change, three dollars.

( she's pleasant but nervous)

Simon : Thank you , looks like it might be a good day

( they both smile ) Waitress leaves

So while Simon was looking out the window he notices a strange looking box out side on the benches. He sits and stares for a few minutes then gets up

Simon: Hey you look interesting....

( while checking out the box)

Simons co worker: hey Simon what's up, is this your box?

He pauses for a minute gets up quickly and answers with a stutter

Simon: uhh, yeah I mean no found it checking it out looks foreign I think.

Simons co worker: look theres an arrow on it, interesting, ( chewing his granola) you should check it you know make sure there is no explosives or nothing.

Simon: well if no ones gonna take it then ill just keep it , you know make sure if anyone ask for it they can find it, hope it fits in my locker , alight man call you later.

I looked around saw all the cars parked waited for someone to come running in maby some kid forgot a bag or some guy forgot his wifes present or god forbid a mother who left her kid in the car forgot he box. But no one came, so i tucked it in my bag ” ill give it to security. Simon walked ahead and walked around went to the bathroom and went back to the locker area. I tucked it in my side bag and left it at that. Work was 7 45 to 6 pm, he always took the third day off for personal reasons. .......
