At Tony's apartment.Tony,Chuck,Sharon, and Carlie are sitting together at the round table.This is a council of war.
Tony--"The reason we all gather here tonight is to discuss the ways and means to subdue this monster publisher Fitz."
Chuck--"We all know Fitz is a nasty piece of work.He sit in his publisher chair and hasn't got a clue about literature or arts.All he did is to screw the young up and comming writers by doing the best he can not to publish their works.Do you all agree with that?"
Tony--"Don't I know it.He is the root of all my troubles.I spent a year researching and writing this novel.It has the making of a bestseller if it get published but I heard that he never even bother to read it."
Carlie--"True I have to read your manuscript and tell him whether it is good enough to publish."
Chuck--"I had a ding dong with him when I came to see him and he threatened to call the police."
Carlie--"Yes he did but I refused to do it otherwise Chuck would have been arrested."
Sharon--"What I heard so far about this character Fitz sounds like he is nothing but evil.This kind of behavior towards the writers should be stopped."
Carlie--"Can we report him to any authority for  his behavior."
Tony--"As far as I know you could not report this kind of behavior.The only way to stop this evil man is to take action against him by ourselves."
Sharon--"I agree totally with Tony.Fitz is evil and his existance is an insult to society."
Carlie--"But what shall we do?"
Chuck--"I am strongly of the opinion  that we should eliminate him."
Tony--"I agree and is willing to take the lead in this operation if we all decide to go ahead."
Carlie--"What is your plan of action Tony?What ever it is count me in."
Tony--"What I want you to do Carlie is to open the door to his office and let me and Chuck in to the building at night."
Carlie--"That's no problem at all.I do sometimes stay over time to do paper work in my office at night."
Sharon--"What is my role in this operation folks?I like to participate too."
Tony--"Don't worry about that love.You will be helping me in making a bomb and a remote control detonater since you major in chemistry in university sweetheart."
Sharon--"Cool, you can count on me too."

Tony--"I agree with you totally.I only ask you to read it and if you think is promising will you take a chance to publish it."
Fitz--"(laughs) Leave your manuscript with me and I will let you know."
Tony--"How long will I have to wait in suspense sir?If you would give me a time limit."

Fitz--"Intellectuals my ass!! Reformers my foot!!! They can think what ever they like of themselves but I think they are just scroungers.Scroungers of my money they are.Its true."
Carlie--"May be so but they write lovely romantic novels though.Whenever I read them they make me fly in to strange romantic landscape meeting with tall dark and handsome hunks who would carry me to a beautiful palace on horseback and make intensive love."
Fitz--"My God girl you are  barmy.Living in a coo-coo land and believing the lies of those writers.Get a grip of yourself and come back to reality."
Carlie--"I am only 21 years old Mr Fitz.For a young girl of my age it is most appropriate to think about romance and adventures."
Fitz--"For a young girl of your age the best thing is to look for a good paying job and a rich husband who could support you rather than day dreaming."

The Pen And Paper Anarchist-- Prelude.

"The pen and paper anarchist" is about a writer who had been trying to get recognized by the publishers and not getting anywhere.He had become so desperate that he decided to gate crash into the world of literature by the help of a bomb and a gun.In doing so he has discovered his hidden talents and managed to write stories that shocked the world.This play is a comedy and should be read with ease and joyfull heart then only you will recieve the full benifit of my work.I am quite an easy going guy who like to enjoy life and clasp it with both hands.
I wrote this comedy because I strongly believe that comedy is a weapon more serious than tragedy.In this morden age laughter is always edged in the despair,isolation and violence. Ours is the age of despair but we refuse to take it seriously.
Good luck and God Bless,
Raymond Wunna.
