I'm enjoyed this script. Like all your scripts, it is creative and unique. I love your character and that you keep bringing them back. I just can't seem to remember Harry Lowery, but the name seems familiar. Gregory seems a bit confused. He is invisible and can't seem to deal with it.

    Harry Lowery was my one-act play "Harry Lowery Needs a Job" and it took place in an Unemployment Department. I'm not sure whether you read it or not. He's one of the characters I'm most fond of.

Very interesting. And well written (I think, but who am I?)
The alcohol might not be such a good idea - unless confrontations and fights are the story's intent.

    I think there will be confrontations or near confrontations with or without the alcohol. But nothing that won't be dealt with. I hope you swing back and take a look at the next scene, Wayne.

This chapter is beginning to rev up the motor and get the cold car heated for a good ride. You're still setting the stage and the ground rules. Looking forward to reading more.

    Ah, thank you friend. The action begins in the next scene, but nothing too intense.

Reading your plays is good for my creativity Jay

I'm a creature of order and your work has a surreal, uninhibited gusto that both attracts and disturbs me.

I missed the first act but I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays (sic) out

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

    I hope the attraction outweighs the disturbance, Julia. I experimented on a lot of levels with this play. I just can't leave well-enough alone. It's good having you weigh in on this scene and I hope you take a chance on the forthcoming ones.

    I'm with you Jay. I believe you are in the grip of experimental genius.

    I don't know that I'd go that far, Dear Julia. I just get bored easily.

    You say bored, others might call it divine discontent :-))

    I like that better, Julia! Thanks.

I love this. A really intriguing cast of characters. Your story has captured my imagination and your stage directions are clear. Look forward to your next scene.

    Oh, Linda. Thanks for your encouragement and the lovely six stars. The next scene should post at midnight Saturday/Sunday. I'm thrilled you are planning to jump aboard.

Your stage directions are thorough. There is some amusement with Gregory and the dog. Some readers will identify and immediately like him. We laugh about this expression. What does the 'H' stand for anyway. I guess we could dogpile.com it. (Ooof, no pun intended) Your example of allusion will get the reader's attention. This is fun
watch as each character begins to develop. Great job

    Bless you again, Liz. I'm always thrilled to see you reading my stuff. I have no idea what "H" is. Where does it show up? I hope it wasn't a glitch. Do let me know.

    the H in Jesus H. Christ! ...mostly a joke about that time worn swear word...lol

    Okay! I heard that so much by my dad as I was growing up. Believe it or not, I never heard him flat-out cuss until he was in his 80s, then he developed a real potty-mouth. But when I was a kid, I think he felt as long as he threw in the "H" it wouldn't be cussing.

I reflect on granddaughter's imaginary friend, Phyllis, and my wife's imaginary friend Tilly Fitzgibbons when I read this, the interjecting Cililla is a little distracting, but I do love the concept of your created characters of the spectrum challenged Cornelius, well done, blessings Roy

I seem to have missed the Scene-1. But I liked this one as I always find something new to learn from your script writing. Many expressions go above my head and I pause and reread the scene, Interesting experience. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you, so much, Seshadri. This is my most "far-out", experimental play to date. I'm just happy you enjoyed reading it. Hope your New Year is going well, my dear friend!

I'm feeling like I'm bobbing for apples and coming up with an occasional french fry. The surreality of the scene sends me back again to the beginning to make sure I am in the right seat here.

    It levels out to a reality that's more sustainable, but knowing you, you may find that disappointing. I'm elated you got to this while it still had some money on it. I feel awful when you review something for 2 cents, then award me a six for it. Thanks for the sixer for this!

    Next scene is when the fun begins.
