Two of a Kind by Marina Monteith

A 20-minute new writing scratch exploring female friendship. University students Emma and Fliss have a drama assignment to hand in. It's a play. They're running out of time. It's so late at night it's early. The clock marches forward but they don't really care. These are the carefree days, there's nothing to worry about. They've got their whole lives ahead of them. They'll both look back at this stressy time and be able to laugh about it... won't they?
