Russian Roulette
By: Derek Lund
I put in the one round, one round into the eight shot revolver. After spinning the cylinder I gave the gun to my friend. All of us had a one in eight chance to live. It came around to me; I heard no click like the rest of them. I heard a bang.

10 minute play (no title yet)
[A family of 5 is moving their eldest son JESSE into his dorm for his freshman year of college. MOM,DAD, his younger sister AMANDA, and his adopted youngest brother DAVID, all except DAD are trying to convince JESSE to leave and move back home]
MOM
[worried]
Oh my, these rooms are hideous, honey do you really want to move in here? It’s only a 30 minute drive from home, can’t you just live with us?
JESSE
[stops unpacking]
Mom! Of course I want to stay here, I need to get out of that house. [Continues unpacking] This school is perfect, you won’t need to worry about me at all.
DAD
[quietly to JESSE]
Jesse, don’t listen to your mother, she just needs to get it threw her thick skull, your not a damn child anymore. Don’t worry I got your back. [to MOM] Sweetpea, he will be fine here the dorm advisers are super strict, there won’t be any girls [winks at JESSE], drinking [winks again], or drugs [he becomes completely serious]
AMANDA
[Laughing]
Dad, do you honestly think Jesse will ever even be able to talk to a college girl? I mean look at him. I agree with mom at least if he moves home he can go cry himself to sleep in his room….
JESSE
[giving a bear hug that is meant to hurt]
Ohhhh, I’m going to miss you the most Amanda.
AMANDA
[Still in a bear hug, and in now obvious pain]
Ouch! Mom, did you see that? Why is your son such a jack ass?
[DAVID is now trying to say something but no one pays attention to him]
MOM
Amanda am I going to have to wash your mouth with soap? What have I told you about talking like a sailor.
DAD
Ah, let her swear she’s grown up enough to know when the right time is and when it is not the right time. I mean hell, I was swearing at age 10 [very proud of his not-so-good accomplishment]
[DAVID is now screaming for attention, gets fed up, sits on floor and raises his hand]
JESSE
David, stop screaming if you wanted to say something just belt it out.
DAVID
All I wanted to see is if you were going to miss me too Jesse. Are you?
JESSE
[goes back to unpacking after arguing]
Huh?...Wha?...
DAVID
I asked, are you.?
JESSE
Mom! You folded my underwear [pulls out a pair of HUGE whity tightys] Why do you do that?
MOM
[worried]
Oh my, these rooms are hideous, honey do you really want to move in here? It’s only a 30 minute drive from home, can’t you just live with us?
