RE: 'The Trolley Problem' - a Micro-Play - Freewrite #8

in #freewrite7 years ago (edited)

First of all, congratulations!!! I'm so glad you finally got properly rewarded, you surely deserve it, Lazarus!
Ummm... don't even know what I like more, your poems or your micro-plays, as I mentioned before, you have a talent to make us feel participating in what's happening in your pieces, I was there, felt the mixture of Test Subject's feelings, it was intense although you gave us breaks, I mean the hilarious line "like in the supermarket" )) it fits so well showing the complete frustration of them.
They couldn't gather their thoughts to finally make a decision - the line of counting to three and a half... What has prevented them from making a decision? An evil act never justifies a greater good, huh?
An interesting thing is that we don't know if it's a man or a woman, I think in was intended, this gives your reader more freedom and more involvement as well.

I'm familiar with the Trolley Problem, it was shown in a series called "The good place" with some alternative conditiones and outcomes, notably, a guy who had to make his choice was a person who can't even choose a flavour of ice cream)

Thank you so much - it sure was a nice surprise to wake up to! Yes, I always try and make my characters gender neutral when I write these scripts, a habit I picked up when I wrote for my friend's theatre company. It makes them a lot easier to cast, but as you also point out, a lot easier for readers to place themselves inside it :)
