Mr. Tiddles captures and locks three victims in
a motel room located out in the desert.
Each victim committed heinous acts during their
lifetime.
Red Male: Embezzled large sums of money from
various humane society organizations that protected animals and intentionally had
many animals killed for profit.
Blue Male: A serial killer who collected long-haired
females' scalps as trophies
Pink Female: A black widow who would marry, torture,
and kill her spouse (both males and females) on their wedding night
Each victim will suffer by the hands of the others.
Mr. Tiddles observes them as they run out of
food and water. They are mentally
torturing one another.
This is some type of play of the Absurd.
They had been drugged and unaware how they have come
into this bizarre setting.
Mr. Tiddles tells them in a low sinister voice:
"Each of you has passed in the great beyond and is
now in purgatory. If you want to move on to the next step in the
afterlife, you must confess your sins to each other and convince the others you
are worthy of leaving purgatory. Only one of you will move on!"
Each individual takes their turn pleading their
case. Mr.
Tiddles is the only one who knows the truth about each individual and
the atrocities each of them has committed during their life.
Red Male speaks: "I only skimmed a
small amount of money when I ran an organization that assisted with
animals. To my knowledge, not one
creature was killed under my watch! I
have no business being here and I should be freed!"
Blue Male speaks: "I was only a hair
dresser who collected the locks of hair from my customers. I did not do anything wrong! I should go free!"
Pink Female speaks: "I only brought
happiness to my male and female lovers throughout my life! I should not be here. This is some kind of mistake!"
All three of them recognize they all must be lying to each other. No one will speak the
truth and confess their transgressions.
They all seem certain that each of them will remain in this room located
in purgatory for eternity.
Mr. Tiddles stands by and observes how these individuals
cannot bring themselves to tell the truth and confess everything to two other
strangers.
This standoff continues for at least 30 to 40 days. Each pleading their case over and over again.
The stories and confessions change
slightly each time, but each individual never completely confesses everything. Slowly they psychologically torture each
other, run out of food and water...and finally, each actually DIES!
Are humans incapable of confessing their transgressions
or have these individuals convinced themselves they did absolutely nothing wrong???
