PROTECTO (KID HERO) BY D. M. LARSON (2 minute monologue) from the published play "Between Good and Evil" ISBN-13: 978-1502982308
PROTECTO
I've always dreamed of being a hero. I've tried everything to
become super. I let a spider bite me... no spider powers; just lots of
itching. I tried standing too close to the microwave oven hoping the
radiation would change me. Nothing. And I got in trouble for making
so many bags of popcorn. But I took it all to school and had a popcorn
party. I was a hero that day. So I guess it kinda worked.
I love being a hero. I love helping people. I
love making them happy. And I hate bad guys. I hate creeps who hurt
people.
There's this kid at school... he is always hurting
everyone. I am sick of him hurting us. I just need those super
powers. I need something that will make him stop.
(lost in thought) Maybe if I eat more of the school
lunches. They look radioactive. If I get enough green hotdogs and
brown ketchup in me... something is bound to happen. (nods in approval)
And I need a catch phrase like "gonna smoosh me a baddie"...
and a cool costume... actually last time I was in the bathroom, I saw the
perfect superhero name. Protecto! Instead of a telephone booth like
superman, I could use a bathroom stall and those Protecto seat covers could be
a cape... and make a toilet paper mask. Nothing scares bad guys more than
bathroom stuff. (thinks then frowns) Or maybe it will really make
them want to give me a swirly. I better rethink this.
THE END or how they say in the comics... EXCELSIOR!
