At Least It's Not Snow

A Very Short Play

A Category 5 hurricane is ravaging the entire Delaware Valley. A family is huddling together in their living room, trying to save their belongings as the floodwaters reach to their waists.

Mom: This is pretty bad but at least it’s not snow.

Part of the roof collapses. Water pours in.

Dad (lets out a world-weary groan from the bottom of his soul): Thank God for that. Can you imagine?

Winds of over 175 mph shatter the bay window.

Son (moaning in horror): Ugh. Don’t even say that dirty “S” word to me.  

Everyone drowns.

The End
