STORYLINE: Pete, an old man near the end of his life, waits alone in his empty apartment. Duane, a representative from “Operations and Procedures, the Great Beyond,” knocks on Pete’s door and tells him that he needs to ask Pete a few questions before his imminent departure to the afterlife. The two men share a delicious sandwich together as Pete is forced to confront a lifetime of guilt and regret. Or maybe he’s just trying to buy a little time.
SEEKING:
PETE is a tired, old man, 70+, dressed in faded khakis, a wrinkled shirt, an unbuttoned cardigan, and a comfortable pair of tennis sneakers.
DUANE is a downbeat, middle-aged man with razor stubble, dressed in a stained black suit that’s seen better days, a thin black tie, and an ill-fitting white shirt.
