"Tremors, Part Three"

            (A young AUTHORESS approaches her PATRON.)

AUTHORESS
I want to know why I’ve been replaced.

PATRON
What do you mean, replaced?

AUTHORESS
I saw what was published last week.  In my name.

PATRON
Did you enjoy it?

            (The AUTHORESS glowers.)

                  PATRON (Continued)
I don’t care what we print.  I’m not a writer.

            (The AUTHORESS exits.  A stone flies through the window.)
