1st scene

(The setting is in a living room with Grandma and Jazzmon. Jazzmon is sitting in a chair on the other side of the room, while reading a book)

Grandma: Okay, Jazzmon it's time to go to bed.

(Jazzmon looks up from the book)

Jazzmon: Grandma, what happens when we die?

(Grandma giggles)

Grandma: ooh baby, we all go to either one or two places...hopefully our souls will be excepted into the underworld.

Jazzmon: And what is that Grandma? What is that? (with concern)

Grandma: I'll tell you what, I'll let you go to bed thirty minutes late just because I wanna tell you a short story.

Jazzmon: About what? (with concern)

Grandma: The story about the twin souls, Osiris and Re. (African drums begin) They were Egyptian gods that were highly respected. Osiris, the god of the underworld believed that if your heart was heavy with guilt, you were guilty of a crime or sin and therefore couldn't make it to the underworld. And Re was the sun god and the protector of the underworld. He stopped demonic souls from going into the underworld...And together, they replenished each other's life sources.

Last scene

Grandma: So baby, the moral of the story is to live your life as positive as you can. And remember, no matter how far you've traveled down that bad road, you can always turn back. But whatever negative things you decide to do, just remember all those will meet up with you when it's time to cross over...And from that, It'll be determined where you'll spend your afterlife.

Jazzmon: You know Grandma, I learned alot about life from that short story and from now on, Imma live ma life to the fullest and try to be as legit and wholesome as I can!

(They both laugh)
Grandma: Good girl! Now it's time to go to bed, you got school in the mornin'...(Jazzmon begins to walk upstairs) Goodnight sweetpea! (She walks back down and walks over to Grandma)

Jazzmon: Goodnight Grandma, (Hugging her Grandma) I love you!

Grandma: I love you too (Jazzmon exits)
