“THE DEATH SPECIAL”

STRIKER 1

Do you see it?

STRIKER 2

How do you see something so black in all this darkness?

STRIKER 1

It come every night. Every night, up and down those tracks… with that damn gun!

STRIKER 2

Guns they ain’t never fired.

STRIKER 1

Not yet.

STRIKER 2

You see anything?

SOUND of APPROACHING RAILCAR.

STRIKER 1

Shhhh! I hear it.

STRIKER 2

Keep the lights down!

STRIKER 1

It’s getting closer!

The SOUND grows in intensity and then passes.

STRIKER 2

It’s past.

STRIKER 1

It didn’t fire.

STRIKER 2

Thank God!

STRIKER 1

We’re safe.

The SOUND of the RAILCAR returns.

STRIKER 2

It’s coming back!

SOUND intensifies and then cuts to silence.
