31 Plays in 31 Days, #1 - "Live for the Game"

Well, damn. This one really snuck up on me.

I meant to post about this earlier this week, but it got away from me. It's that time of year again, when against my better judgment I cannot help but feel compelled to engage in 31 Plays in 31 Days— a writing challenge where you write a play of at least one page for every day of the month of August. I've done it for the past seven years without fail now. And as I've complained for the past several, it's not really something that makes much sense to me. I have enough projects that need systematic work at this point that often something that encourages open drafting is more of a time suck than a useful exercise. But I like seeing my unbroken lists of posting and my perfect record, not to mention I enjoy having something to post to prove I'm writing. So here I am again, back in a hell of my own making.

I'm currently drafting my way through Mrs. Hawking part 6, as yet untitled, so I will probably continue with mostly posting scenes I've done in the course of that as I work my way through. Today's is from early in the case, where we get something of an answer to exactly what Mrs. Hawking and Mrs. Frost talk about, as was teased in the stinger of part 5. (Which, I guess, means spoilers for part 5.)
