Forsaken [Scene 3]

A radio play written with Pasha

EXT. CHURCHYARD – NIGHT

PRIEST
Jesus? You met Jesus? Why should I believe you?

VAMPIRE
Why would I lie?

PRIEST
You’ve spent two thousand years drinking blood, but you baulk at a lie?

VAMPIRE
Lying is optional. Free will and all that. I drink blood because I have to.

PRIEST
You could’ve killed yourself, and rid us all of your evil

VAMPIRE
A lot of us sinners do eventually. Judas, for example.
