IMMORTALS

A MAN WALKS INTO AN OLD DARK
SEEDY PUB IN NEW YORK, HE WALKS
TO THE BACK AND JOINS ANOTHER MAN
SITTING AT A TABLE:

Time: Today,

DARIUS:
As soon as I turned the corner
it hits me like the hottest steam
in a Russian sauna, but i thought
it could not be, the oldest of friends
has come back to me, it has been
long my friend...

ALEXANDER:
Tis' true a surprise what time will unveil
but I have changed little I still drink my ale
What have you of tales? I have left mine
with wooden sails and foolish glories of
a Holy Grail...
oh what a time the Conquests of Alexander
the pillages,the treasures and the laughter
and the women of holy law raped and ravaged
then turned of common wife to daily w***e.

DARIUS:
You have not changed my friend
the days of glory have come to an end
these strange days are hard to man
today men rule of pen and not of hand
today men move in silence with private plans
they fight for money and not of land

ALEXANDER:
Aye, we have been cursed of days
all will go but we must stay
we have been written for different ways
from all that I've seen these are the
darkest days...

DARIUS:
I must bid you farewell old friend
but a gift before I go, kept safe but old
and given to me for his life I did defend
A Shakespearean Quill so that your past
days will never end...

THE MAN TURNS AND WALKS OUT OF THE PUB...

Author's Note

the characters "Alexander the great" and "Darius the 3rd"...
