TEN-MINUTE: The night before moving out of his childhood home and in with his long-term girlfriend, a still closeted Charlie is anxiously anticipating his first ever Grindr hook-up.

ONE-ACT: Drenched and disoriented, Dana stumbles into a motel late one night only to be greeted by aloof 12-year-old V who seems to know everything there is to know about the lobby's barely functioning vending machine.

“Let us go through certain half-deserted streets,
the muttering retreats
of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels.”

- T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
