A woman with chronic back pain tries to retrieve a computer mouse she has dropped into a gaping void by enlisting the help of others via her cell phone. She orders a grabber from Amazon, and then drops that grabber in the void and orders another grabber to pick up that lost grabber. Another tactic is to book a Tinder date to get help. When he hurts his back, she enlists the responding paramedic. At the end, she starts all over again when she drops the cell phone into the same void.
Trust me, it works well on Zoom with two actors alternating reading stage directions.
