Soul Survivor

See Eugene Burger Penguin Live Lecture Vol 2 @54:00

Script
Eugene: "A mystery based on the writing of Albert Camus. Dan, you and I will play a game in which together we represent the two hands of fate. Imagine the space between us is a village. And these few playing cards are people who live in the village. They go about their business, you can move them to. Some of them go to school, others go to work. Some of them go to the theater, others to the movies. Everyone goes shopping. And then, fate comes to our village in the form of a plague."

(1) "I will select two people who get sick. You decide which one dies." Dan selects a queen. "The school teacher."

(2) "You select two people that get sick. I say this one dies." King selected. "The town doctor."

(3) "I say these two get sick." Dan selects the jack. "The little boy."

(4) "You select two people that get sick. I say this one dies". King selected. "The shopkeeper."

(5) "I select two people." Jack selected "The town fool."

(6) "You select two people. I say this one dies." A queen is selected. "The widow."

"And so Dan, fate has come to our little village and rather tidied things up. The tidiness that comes with death. But one card remains, the sole survivor. The plague itself."
