This is a sketch written to be scary and dramatic. Toby is a young man who arrives at school after being at a wild party the night before. He learns that his best friend, Scott was killed on the way home from the party. Left all alone in the classroom with his thoughts, Toby discovers a computer on and begins receiving a message from beyond the grave. Suddenly Scott appears in the room and tells him of the horrors he is experiencing and wants to know why he didn't tell him about Jesus. I do not condone conversing with the dead; this is simply a fantasy, and at the end, we learn it was all a dream. The excerpt is taken from the middle of the drama.

The police arrive and they are warned of a dangerous criminal on the loose as well as reprimanded for being out after curfew and disturbing the peace.
