(a television flickers on. ANNOUNCER 1 appears within it.)
ANNOUNCER 1 Renouned homosexual Thomas Lin was caught leering at one of his fellow male classmates, Mr. Bruce Caramore--
THOMAS Wait, that's not true!--
(simultaneously, a second television flickers on. ANNOUNCER 2 joins in.)
ANNOUNCER 1 by the school's administrators. Experts believe that Thomas Lin is one of a small handful of disgusting faggot perverts--
ANNOUNCER 2 It was an ordinary school day for Bruce, an average high school student with a wonderful circle of friends. All until a perpetrator--
THOMAS (breathing heavily.) What they're saying isn't true, what they're saying isn't true...
BRUCE Hey, uh, Tom? What's happening, pal?
(spotlight shines on the top stage. PRIEST appears, book in hand.)
PRIEST And so, professing themselves to be wise, they became FOOLS, Changing the glory of the incorruptible God into an image of creeping THINGS.
(THOMAS grips head, arms tight with tension.)
PRIEST Wherefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own BODIES between themselves
(THOMAS wails. Lights flicker on stage. The sound of glass breaking. Lights off)
(Fog pours onto the stage.)
THOMAS Hello?
THOMAS Where am I?
(as the fog clears, DAVIS comes into view, sitting on a chair, reading a book)
THOMAS Is this reality?
DAVIS The question you should be asking is: Which reality is this?
