Play 69: I Got Nothing

CHARACTERS
BEN, 17
WILL, 17

(They’re sitting at a table talking.)

BEN
I got nothing.

WILL
What’s that in reference to?

BEN
I don’t know, everything I guess.

WILL
Like what?

BEN
No ideas for my scene for one.

WILL
Isn’t that pretty much how it always is?

BEN
Well yeah.

(beat.)

But I also have no time to do the scene, nothing of the mental energy I need to write it, no sleep in the last few days.

WILL
Wow, that’s kind of intense.

BEN
Well, not none, or even close to none, but, not enough. You know.

WILL
Yeah.

BEN
What am I going to do?

WILL
I don’t know.

BEN
You sure?

WILL
Yeah.

BEN
No ideas?

WILL
No.

BEN
Fuck.

WILL
Yeah.

(Blackout.)
