Play A Day

Post Secret: Fruity pebbles taste so much better when stolen from the cafe.

Lights come up on a college cafeteria. BOY is in line for the cereal dispensers, he has a empty messenger bag slung over his shoulder. He is carrying a cereal bowl and plastic spoon. The line slowly moves forward, BOY at the end of the line. When BOY gets to the fruity pebbles, he fills his bowl, looks around, then empties the dispenser into his bag. He gets the register and pays for his bowl of cereal.

CASHIER
2 dollars.

BOY
[handing CASHIER his student card]
The fruity pebbles is all out.

CASHIER
Thanks, have a nice day.

BOY
Thank you, you too.

BOY sits down at a table and eats his cereal. Lights fade.

Lights come up on BOY in his dorm room, sitting at his desk. The messenger bag is on top on the desk, there is a cereal bowl next to it. BOY scoops the bowl into the bag, and gets up and gets a half gallon of milk out of the fridge, and a spoon. He pours the milk in the bowl, and takes his first bite, making it last, savoring it. Lights fade.
