Bangkok Gem Scam

Bangkok Gem Scam - What an elaborate way to screw someone over. Can you imagine the stories from the people this has happened to?

A Play in Two Acts

Act I.

Scene 1. Saturday. The curtain rises to reveal Alex hunkered down over an organic chemistry book, solution manual, notecards and notes. He sighs and pushes his hair back from his forehead. He needs a haircut. The modification of the Wittig recation makes sense, but he wonders if he’ll be able to keep it straight from the 20 other reaction/reagent combinations he has to keep straight.

Scene 2. Sunday. Early morning light streams across the stage, illuminating Alex intently staring at his notes. Hours pass. In the evening, Alex’s glasses pop open, leaving only one lens. Inches from the desk, he reviews and reviews his summaries of the sections, trying to get it all straight.

Act II.

Scene 1. An alarm rings in a darkened room. Alex grabs it and mashes the buttons until it finally ceases its ringing. After some time, he crawls out of bed and gets ready for the day.

Scene 2. Alex shovels food in, checking his watch so he is not late for his first class. Two guys sit close by, talking about all the snow that fell last night and the big drifts that have accumulated.
Guy 1: “You know class is cancelled today.”
Alex: [mishearing] “No, I don’t think so, class is never cancelled around here.”
Guy 1: “No, really - I saw you rushing but … there’s no class today.”
Alex: !!!!!!!

Scene 3. An acoustic, hopeful, inspiring song (I am thinking Damien Rice’s “Older Chests” off of the album O) slowly increases volume on the stage as Alex walks along a snowy street, smiling at all the extra time he has to study with. Exit all, with snow continuing to fall as the lights fade out.

Like time, there’s always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I’ll be fine
Just give me time
