The Ghostwriter

The Ghostwriter
(A room. Lisa struggles over a written assignment. Enter her friend.)

Friend: What's the matter, Lisa?

Lisa: This poem is due tomorrow and I can't think of anything to write.

Friend: (pulling a package from her purse) Sounds like you need this. (She hands the package over.)

Lisa: (reading) The Ghostwriter. I've heard of these things. Do they really work?

Friend: Set it up and see for yourself.

(Lisa pulls out a feather pen and a transmitter. Her friend guides her through the setup.)

Lisa: What's the transmitter for?

Friend: It emits a signal that attracts ghostwriters. Turn it on. (Lisa flicks a switch and the room is filled with a familiar chorus: Ghostwriters i-in the sky...) Now we have to hide if you want to see it in action.

(The girls take cover and see the door open and shut on its own. The feather is lifted by an invisible hand and starts scratching out words.)

Lisa: It's working!

(The next day in class.)

Teacher: Lisa! Come here!

Lisa: What's wrong?

Teacher: Are you mad? Shakespeare wrote this!

Lisa: He did? That's not what the ghostwriter said.

Announcer: Don't be afraid. Get the Ghostwriter.
