Eric Wasserman: A Play in One Act

!!!
...The Intelligentsia


Comrade Pope: There is no faculty discount at the food court in the Student Union.

Comrade Bean: Yes, we must plan a coup.

Comrade Ambisco: After that we storm the administration building, undermine all scientific research funding and make the adjuncts wash our cars.

Comrade Bean: Let's just start with getting the discount on sandwiches.

Comrade Pope: We should insist on good omegas in everything we buy to eat.

Comrade Ambrisco: An excellent idea. But tell Comrade Wasserman bagels and lox will be distributed at our faculty meetings evenly amongst all of us.

Comrade Bean: Tell his wife. She's much smarter than him.

Comrade Pope: Agreed.

Intelligentsia: Only proles should enjoy a discount on the prole food served at the student union. The intelligensia should be charged a premium. From each . . .

About Me

My photo
I write short stories and essays. I have published well over one hundred stories, essays, and flash fictions or nonfictions in magazines or anthologies, as well as a novel, Jack's Universe, three collections of stories, Private Acts, Killers & Others, and Not a Jot or a Tittle, and two chapbooks of flash fiction, Shutterbug and Dragon Box. I grew up in a military family, so I'm not from anywhere in particular except probably Akron, where I've lived for forty years. Before I came here, I never lived anywhere longer than three years.
