It Came From Texas By Josh Weckesser WRITTEN: 1999-2001 SUMMARY: It Came From Texas is the story of a monster that rampages the country side, eating all in it's path. This intrepid group of gamblers take refuge in a basement, where they do their best to ignore the world. This succeeds only in so much as the Hate Music will allow, not to mention the Female Overmind. A sci-fi fantasy western with a twist (NOTE: The previous statement is false). Really, it's about a bunch of people pissing a day away, languishing in each other in the way that only a group of people that knows each other too well can languish. CAST: 5 Men, 4 Women LENGTH: One Act TIM: You're in my house. My house, my rules. MARK: But we're in the basement of the house. They just passed a law saying that the basement is no longer part of the property to which it is attached. Meaning, technically, this isn't your property. TIM: [sarcastic] Isn't it? Then who does own the basement? MARK: [simply] The state of Texas. TIM: The lone star state? Why? MARK: Well, if you don't own the place then you don't make the rules. You won't be able to boss people around. Come on, just for the rest of the day. TIM: Fine. [monotone] I, Timothy Patterson, do hereby swear that I will act as if my basement is owned by Texas for the rest of the day. MARK: Now that I think about it, maybe the law said Mexico...
