HORACE: Sylvia. Listen. It won’t be much longer now.
When I die, you must rush immediately to the barn. Find the box hidden beneath the fourteenth floorboard.

HORACE: BURN IT.
Do NOT open it. Simply BURN it. Will you PROMISE me this?
SYLVIA (offpanel): To be honest, I…I’d rather not.

SYLVIA: Instead, can I freeze it with liquid nitrogen, then drop it into a hot spring?
Or send it through an industrial metal shredder?
Or plate the box with cesium and toss it in the lake?

HORACE: It is a simple task! It need not be complicated with novelty!
SYLVIA: HOW sick are you? Do I have time to get a pyro license?
