Solo Sundays - 8//24/14

"Date Night at Pet Emergency"
LISA ROTHMAN
--------------------------------------------------------
Lisa's not sure who she should kill: Her dog or her husband? The prognosis isn't good for Sophie the cocker spaniel. Is it any better for her marriage? Ever since Baby #2 hit the scene, Lisa and Kevin have been fighting over sippy cups, fruit salad, and impenetrable origami instructions at the bowling alley, the dog park, and the dinosaur exhibit at the science museum. Now Kevin is storming around the emergency pet clinic, ranting about the $2000 vet bill. How could they have foreseen this? Who ever heard of a dog ODing on antibiotics?! Lisa isn't sure what to do. All she knows is that this has got to be the worst date night ever.

"Black Virgins are Not for Hipsters"
ECHO BROWN
--------------------------------------------------------
Echo is about to lose her virginity to a good looking white hipster that she met on Craigslist. This will happen in ten minutes. That gives Echo just enough time to do exactly what you shouldn't do the first time you are about to get laid: contemplate America's racial problems. Echo is black. So she's use to pondering race. But she doesn't want to ponder race IN THIS MOMENT. Right now, all she wants to do is convince herself that she is beautiful, despite a lifetime of conditioning to the contrary. To make herself believe in her own beauty, Echo will pray to all of the gods, call her best friend over 20 times, and talk to her cat about the meaning of life.

"Deal With The Dragon"
KEVIN ROLSTON
--------------------------------------------------------
Can Hunter find love before another incineration? All he needs to do is grow up, get a job, get out of debt and get the hell away from his roommate. But every time Hunter faces a problem the guy comes to his rescue, and whoever caused the problem ends up a pile of ash. BTW: His roommate's a dragon.
