3-Act Play in 12 Lines

 

Jack: “What’s your worst fear?”

Jill: “Snakes. Yuk!”

Jack: “Come on, pal, everybody says Snakes. I mean, for Real, What is it?”

Jill: “I’m not sure we’re ready for Real, Jack.”

Jack: “Okay, I’ll start. Death.”

Jill: “Death? Really? But you’re still relatively young.”

Jack: “Relatively. That’s the key word, isn’t it?”

Jill: “What do you mean?”

.   .   .

Jack: “The universe is 13.7 billion years old.”

Jill: “So?”

 Jack: “So, relatively speaking, I'll be old and dead within a universal nanosecond.”

Jill: “Look on the bright side, Jack. You haven’t aged a day.”
