Repellent

Three performers enter the room.

Two children.

One adult.

The children stand like two scarecrows in a rice field.

The adult takes a can and sprays the children;

careful not to miss a spot.

The children put their hands down and prepare to exit,

The adult whispers,

“they’re everywhere”.
