The Bluestone Review 2020

Drama

VAN (to the camera) I’m here in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where my friend and camerawoman, Fran has been possibly kidnapped by the supernatural creature, the Mothman! I just heard a scream coming from the woods, followed by an unearth- ly screech! I’m going to tread slowly into the woods and rescue my friend from the myste- rious moth humanoid. VAN creeps his way to the trees with his phone flashlight. Crickets cry in the night as VAN steps closer and closer, snapping twigs on the dirt ground. VAN runs and exits towards the forest. VAN (OFFSTAGE) Fran! The screeching gets louder. The shadow of a headless creature with red circles on its shoul- ders is overcast on the stage. The moth human- oid raises its wings. BLACKOUT.
