D.1

Two people on a couch sit with their backs facing each other. Each person is furiously typing on a laptop. Respective typing becomes less sporadic and rhythmic exchange between the two becomes apparent. Back and forth. To the right: Type. Enter. Wait. To the left: Type. Enter. Wait. Laughs occasionally synchronize. Individuals never turn to face each other. Belly laughter peaks, subsides, and is replaced by subtle smirks. Facial expressions become suggestive. Deep typer’s hunch. Assymetrical symmetry. Definite periods of mutual writers block. Palpable awkwardness. Typing exchange pumps and shrivels in bursts. Rhythm picks up. Pace escalates. Recedes again. Less typing. Less typing. Less typing. Both parties turn 180 degrees and romantically entwine.

El fin.
