The Next Plane Home

By Jake Cutler

News of a new war widow travels fast in a small town--whispers of his courage, her sacrifice, their future. “She's shocked, numb," they agreed. But they knew nothing of the shouting, boot heel bruises, bowie knife scar. They knew nothing of her threat to leave or his promise to kill her if she did.

And then, they knew nothing of her nascent hope. Or that the second visit crushed it. "Misinformation, a terrible mistake," the sergeant apologized.

Character Descriptions

Hope: Female Lead

Mid-twenties. Between 5’3’’ and 5’9’’ and attractive in a girl-next-door sort of way. Hope is impulsive, artistic and passionate. She has a contagious smile but hasn’t used it much since getting married—she carries more emotional weight than someone her age should. Hope and her husband, Chris, were high school sweethearts and got married very young.

Chris: Male Lead

23-30. Tall with an athletic build. Chris is something of a collection of clichés: big fish in a small pond, high school sports star, a man’s man. He is charismatic but has an extremely volatile temper and possessive personality.

Sergeant Morris

33-45. Sergeant Morris delivers the news that Chris was killed in action and later the news that there has been a mistake and Chris will be on the next plane home. Sergeant Morris is professional and takes his duty seriously but he is also a kind, empathetic person so he struggles to know how to give the news in an appropriate way.

Teri

45-60. Teri is Hope’s mother and is very involved in her life. She’s a sweet lady and a little naïve so she has never suspected any sort of problem between Hope and Chris.
