ABSTRACT
The scene is a block in Harlem-a block of tenement houses on either side of a long, narrow, dirty street of full garbage cans. People are moving around in the distance bringing things out of the houses and standing with them in the street. There is activity-but as CHARLES, a tall, bearded man in his early thirties, and OLD SISTER move toward the front, the activity lessens. It is night. The time is now.
