CREATIVE SUNDAY || Ethics Amidst Adversity - Playlet by Vickoly

Good day, everyone, and welcome to the very first edition of Creative Sunday for the year 2024. Like I said in one of my posts a few days ago, today I've decided to take a dive into one of my resolutions for the year, and that's acting out a short playlet. In light of that, today I present to you a short playlet titled Ethics Amidst Adversity. I hope you'll enjoy it and, hopefully, find it interesting.

So the playlet is about a young man, Daniel by name, who has graduated from the university for over 3 years and yet has nothing to show for it. He was a very intelligent student who came out with a first-class grade, but unfortunately, despite going for multiple interviews, no one was willing to offer him a job.

According to his experience, he believes it's only ladies who those interviewers can benefit from; someone who's willing to bribe his or her way to get the job or those who have connections are the ones they gave jobs to, and despite his outstanding performance in all interviews, he's never given the job, and people with lesser qualifications get the job.

Unknown to him, aside from all of those reasons, some of the interviewers also don't employ him because of how overqualified and intelligent he's, and that could cause them to lose their jobs or the position if their superior were to learn about him and his impact.

Well, on one of those days, he just returned from another job hunting tour without a positive answer, and he decided to eat what he had left at home. While eating, his mother called to inform him of how broke they're, requesting that he send some money for them to stock the house with food and also pay for his kid brother's school fee, who was chased from sitting for exam for not paying.

While walking around the street, he saw a bag filled with money, and the first thought that came to his mind was that the money was a manna from heaven to help him settle the issues on the ground, but on a second thought, he knew that wasn't right, and while I looked through the bag, he saw a business card and decided to take the bag home and then call the number on the business card.

While home, he did just do that, and the person was excited and even invited him over to his house, but that's when the light fades away from the stage. What would happen next?

Would Daniel return the bag?
Would his kind gesture turn around the tides for him, or would something more disturbing befall him?

Watch out for Part 2!

But I'd you're were Daniel, what would you do in such a situation? Putting your current situation into consideration!!!

Thanks so much for your time. Have a wonderful day ahead, and stay blessed.
