Title: Stranded in the Flood
Characters:
JASON: A 25-year-old man who is stuck in the flood
LISA: Jason’s sister who is trying to help him escape the flood
RESCUER: A rescue worker who is trying to help people escape the flood
Act 1:
(We see JASON standing on the roof of his house, looking out at the floodwaters that surround him. He is shouting for help.)
JASON: Help! Is anyone out there? I’m stuck here!
(LISA enters the scene, carrying a life jacket.)
LISA: Jason! I’m here!
JASON: Lisa! Thank god you’re here! How did you find me?
LISA: I heard you shouting from the road. I’ve brought a life jacket. Put it on and we’ll try to get you out of here.
JASON: Okay, let’s do it.
(They try to leave the roof, but the floodwaters are too high.)
JASON: It’s no use. We can’t get through.
LISA: (looking around) There must be another way out.
(They start to look around for a way to escape. Suddenly, they hear a loudspeaker.)
RESCUER: Attention all flood victims! Please make your way to the riverbank. Rescue workers are on their way to help you.
LISA: Come on, let’s go!
JASON: (hesitant) But what about our house? Our belongings?
LISA: Our lives are more important. We can’t stay here any longer.
(They make their way to the riverbank, where they see several rescue workers in boats.)
RESCUER: (calling out) Hey you two! Are you okay?
JASON: (relieved) Yes, we’re okay. We’ve been stuck on the roof of our house for hours.
RESCUER: (nodding) I see. Well, you’re safe now. Hop on the boat and we’ll take you to safety.
LISA: (grateful) Thank you so much!
JASON: (smiling) You guys are lifesavers.
Act 2:
(The boat takes JASON and LISA to a nearby shelter where they are given food, water, and a place to rest. They are also given clothes to wear as their old ones are soaked through.)
LISA: (sighing) I can’t believe this happened.
JASON: (agreeing) Yeah, it’s been a crazy day.
LISA: (curious) Do you think our house will be okay?
JASON: (uncertain) I don’t know. But I’m just glad we made it out alive.
(They both sit in silence for a few moments.)
LISA: (breaking the silence) Thank god for those rescue workers.
JASON: (nodding) Yeah, they really are heroes.
LISA: (grateful) We’re lucky to be alive. I’m just glad we made it out.
JASON: (smiling) Me too, sis. Me too.
(They sit in silence for a few more moments, grateful for their safety.)
The End.
