About this ebook
Josh and his former Pastor meet in the ICU waiting room while a man who was something of a mentor to both of them, Pastor Chet, lays fighting for his life in ICU. Will Josh return to his faith? Will the Pastor lose his? Josh wrestles with the conflicts between his religious past, his new-found atheism, and the reality in front of him.

Cast
The Pastor
[Pastor is in his thirties, dressed casual conservative, grays or browns]
Josh
[Josh is in his thirties. He’s dressed I might have just mowed my lawn
, shorts and t-shirt and tennis shoes. His hair is not crazy unkempt, but not neatly quaffed either.]
Pearl
[Pearl is in her late sixties, early seventies. Her outfit should look like it was bought new circa-early seventies]
Nurse Sara
[An entirely inconsequential character, dresses as nurse. Could be male with name change]
[Interior, modern. Hospital waiting room. Generic chairs arranged in rough form around a coffee table suggesting the room shape. Perhaps a magazine rack in the ‘corner’ and magazines on the table. A remote on the table suggests there is a TV that we can’t see.]
[Pastor sits in one of the chairs, facing the audience.
