Synopsis

Evan is what you would call "accident-prone."

Having suffered from various injuries his entire life, he's now been randomly stabbed.

In his apartment, his twin sister and his fiancée are trying to help him recover while fending off a steady stream of visitors and a bitter neighbor with a thing for stuffed cats.

Something isn't quite adding up though.

As the morning descends into a buzz of secrets and lies, this dark farce quickly becomes a brutally funny commentary on how, under the right circumstances, violence can take hold of just about anyone.

Characters

Character
Evan / Narrator

A man; Ellen’s brother, with a good attitude, a generous smile and a lot of unexplained injuries, or at least very poorly explained injuries

Diane

A woman; Evan’s fiancée, surface pretty, surface nice, making it through, but fed-up and breaking, trying her best to work it out

Tessa

A woman; all in black, very put together, overly polite, laughing at herself, past the point where death has any discernable impact

Stanley

A man; sweet, caring, almost like a big teddy bear, with a healthy dose of psychotically jealous stalker underneath

Jerome / Fox

A man; Ellen’s sometime boyfriend, very quiet, very tense, not very nice, but very much in love with the idea of love

Mirabelle / Crow

A woman; Ellen and Evan’s neighbor, she chews gum, she has cats, real and imagined, and a lot of attitude, somehow, oddly alluring

Ellen

A woman; deeply concerned for her brother, seemingly “normal” except for the inappropriate laughter, singing seizures, and lapses into extreme violence
