Ghost Trains
Already slowed, a small town railroad
has anounced that it is ceasing regular service, meaning the end of the
line for a generation who relied on it. People on both sides of the
tracks, like barkeeper Alex, town drunk Zelda and elderly Father Michael
will feel the effects. What's left of old Main St. is already in
shambles, but now that the trains are about to stop, things threaten to
get even worse.
In a bar close to the dock, railroad
Vice President Frank Still reveals himself as carrying the message: the
last train will be coming down the tracks soon. He is a vilified
man, but only doing his job. In this short play alliances are drawn
and re-drawn, each turn coming with increasingly dangerous consequences.
When the smoke clears, someone will be left to pick up the pieces, with
the weight of a dying town on their shoulders.
