Karma Dharma Prozac Zoloft
DHARMA, KARMA, PROZAC, ZOLOFT A Play by Mark Phillip Burr Characters DOCTOR BARBARA CROSS, a psychiatrist in her mid 30s or early 40s, attractive, clinical and detached. When she speaks it sounds rather formal or appropriate, the tone of voice inherent to a clinician. The audience should be able to gather that she is usually right and her voice carries this assertion.

Treasure
“Treasure” by Mark Burr Bree took a swig from her Bud Light Lime. “Fuck her, your grandmother left that to you. Fuck her, Mia.” Brie was a short skirt with bright green ruffles and pink flip flops and a white tank top that stained with sweat. Summer had descended upon Ocean Springs, MS in a wave. The humidity hit everyone like a wave.

The Five Hundred Dollar Cheeseburger
The Five Hundred Dollar Cheeseburger By Mark Burr On Scott’s third night in Biloxi John Wayne was stealing all his money. Scott had been up most of the night. He won ninety dollars from the Black Widow and then two hundred playing the Cash Coaster when Brie was sitting next to him. Now John Wayne was stealing all his money through his ten gallon mouth and silver spittoons because Brie was standing at the mahogany counter of the players club.

Sniff Out
“Sniff Out” by Mark Burr I was holed in a bathroom in the Archstone 101 on the Upper West Side on the island our fathers bought with beads. I watched her slip the rolled up, taped up hundred dollar bill up her left nostril. In the time it took the second hand to go around the clock twice, everything she had taken out of the little, blue, plastic bag—small enough to hold a key—and dropped onto the jeweled hand mirror was gone and she reached a manicured hand out to mine.
