The 3 Cats of the Apocalypse
Short Comedy Sketch
We used to have a couple of cats, Sam and Murphy. They had a friend who had a withered back leg. We called ‘her’ ‘Handicappy-Catty.’ She hung around with Sam and Murphy and they played, as cats do.
I used to sit looking at them in the garden and wonder. What if they knew more than us humans and what if they were ‘The 3 Cats of the Apocalypse?’
EXT/DAY
MY GARDEN
THE THREE CATS OF THE APOCALYPSE DOZE ON THE BRANCH OF A SWAYING CEDAR TREE. SHEIKH IS EYEING A RUBIK’S CUBE
FANG:
Isn’t a Rubik’s Cube a mite passé?
SHEIKH
I thought of some left sided brain activity for after our afternoon nap.
FANG:
Why did you paint it completely white?
SCAR OPENS ONE EYE AND VIEWS THE COMPLETELY WHITE RUBIK’S CUBE
SCAR:
Irony?
SHEIKH:
Postmodern irony.
THE THREE CATS OF THE APOCALYPSE CHUCKLE AND HISS. THEY RETURN TO THEIR NAP.
Toot!
