OF HOW PROFESSOR ANDERSON DIED CHOKING IN THE HALLWAY WHILE WE WERE ALL WATCHING IN FEAR OF TOUCHING A SOON TO BE DEAD BODY

Remember professor Anderson?

Anderson?

The tall guy, skinny, with glasses

Oh, yeah, the British guy

No, that one is Gallagher. I am talking about Anderson, the tall guy with glasses

And brown suit with the handkerchief in his pocket?

Yes, that one

What about him?

He was walking down the hallway, right there, he started choking and breathing heavily. He loosened his tie. He started grabbing the walls, he was about to fall. He was not screaming, he was choking

Oh my God!

Then he fell on his knees, he started coughing, he made a huge noise, some saliva started coming out of his mouth mixed with some other fluids, then he fell and he died

Oh my God, that’s awful

Yes, really bad

__________________

No, no, officer, he wasn’t doing drugs, he was just choking, he probably had a heart attack or something. Yes, Anderson, Professor Anderson…. Yes, he is a professor of British Literature. Extremely educated guy, almost British you could say… No, we don’t think he had a fight with anybody… I definitely don’t think that somebody could be trying to kill him… Who doesn’t have enemies officer? Who? Don’t you have enemies? But professor Anderson was for the most part loved by all of us… yes I agree, we should definitely analyze the fluids officer… in case there’s drugs there…. Autopsy?!? Officer, that’s awful! Let get professor Anderson rest in peace! Yes, of course… He was walking down the hallway… he started choking… I don’t know if you ever experienced anything like that… like your throat starts getting drier and smaller and the air doesn’t seem to have enough space to come in… He didn’t even have enough air to ask for help… to say a word… He started grabbing the walls

Officer - Nobody was helping him?

For the most part we were contemplating, we couldn’t understand what was going on… We had the suspicion that he was dying. And who wants to touch a dead body officer? And then being accused of killing him? You know the law better than me officer, you don’t touch a dead body without gloves

OF HOW THE AUTOPSIE OF PROFESSOR ANDERSON REVEALED THAT HE WAS IN FACT 1- IN DRUGS 2- POISONED 3- BY ONE OF HIS STUDENTS


I find horrifying this disgusting habit of opening people’s dead bodies to look for information that will not be relevant anymore to that person anyway , because that person is DEAD

Forensic doctor - Excuse me sir, this is a morgue, you can’t speak that loud in here

Screaming - Why? Why can’t I scream? Who is going to wake up? They are all dead, did you notice?

Forensic - Sir, please

Look what you did to professor Anderson! Please don’t dare to do that to me if I die choking in a hallway, got it?
Crying Poor professor Anderson, todo remendado

Forensic doctor - Excuse me sir, I don’t do this for fun and if you must know, yes, we did find some important information during Mr. Anderson’s autopsy

Oh, really? What did you find?

Professor Anderson was in fact doing drugs at the time of his death

What? Professor Anderson? It can’t be true

Well, we have scientific proof

Oh, my God, yo can’t get to know anybody, can you?

There’s more sir

More?
Yes, I have to tell you also that professor Anderson was in fact victim of poisoning, he was poisoned

Poisoned?

Yes, poisoned

Oh my God!

By one of his students

By one of his students?! Oh my goodness!... Wait, how could you find out who poisoned him through an autopsy?

Fingerprints

Fingerprints?

Yes, fingerprints. We found out, through careful monitoring that the person who poisoned him allegedly touched his knee, accidentally or intentionally, with a finger that had particles of the poison that subsequently we found in his stomach. By following carefully the path of the poison we could infer that the person ,( I am not going to venture myself into assuming any specific gender for the person in question but I am ready to assume that this person was of the male group because we also found our during the autopsy that Mr. Anderson was gay

Gay?! Mr. Anderson gay? Oh my goodness, it can’t be possible! He was such a good Christian. He was even homophobic! He really believed in the evil of sin!

Anyway… the “person” in question “touched” Mr. Anderson’s knee with a finger that was slightly dirty with the same poison that we found inside Mr. Anderson’s stomach. The fingerprints on the poison stain are being identified as we speak…

the gender of my characters

wow, I didn't write in a long time, too busy with facebook or what?
Okay, this is how I am writing the gender of the characters in my plays these days. I usually look for names that have no gender, but if I am writing in the context that I have to say if it's a man or a woman, then I write knowing if it's a man or a woman or whatever gender the character has/is/. I keep going. Then when i finish the scene or act or play, I switch the gender.
Even if we don't like it, but we all have stereotypes and shit to deal with, but then when you reverse the gender, ( I know there's more than two genders, but I am saying for the sake of writing the play), it's so much more interesting
No se, digo
