A very short play

1: What was that?

2: What?

1: That thing…
Swiping hand in front of face.

2: I don’t see……. Oh! Ouch! What the fuck was that?!
shaking hand as if wiping something good and unexpected off hand

1: That!
Waving hands around head and upper body
Whatever is is it’s annoying as fuck

2: How did we get ourselves into this?

1: I think you said, “Sure, we’ll take the job.” When that weird little guy asked us.

2: Did I ask what the job was first?

1: Nope.

grimacing
2: Humph, I didn’t think so…
Shrugging shoulders and continuing to wave hands around.

The buzzing hum has been gone for a few minutes but 2 continues to wave hands around as though on auto-pilot.

1: I think you can stop now

2: What am I doing now?

1: Waving

2: What?

1: You can stop waving your hands now, that whatever-it-was is gone.
