"Butch Gardens, Episode 62" by Mocha Tchokha Rose


            (COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE, along with GEORGETTE and GRACE, is lost, 
            a bit confused, in no real rush.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
I have this feeling . . .

GRACE
You have it, too?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
About Annie.

GRACE
Oh.

GEORGETTE
Which one is that?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
The girlfriend.  The one who didn’t get covered in slime.  The one who wasn’t dead and didn’t come back to life.

GRACE
Oh, her.

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Usually Foofee says this kind of thing---

GEORGETTE
I know---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
But I wonder if she didn’t make a Faustian bargain:  give her life to save someone---that Annie---no, Lonnie---the one who was dead but isn’t anymore.

GRACE
I’d give my life to save Georgette.

GEORGETTE
I’d give my life to save you.

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
I’d give my life for a comfy cushion.

            (They keep plodding.)
