This is a list of possible characters, themes, images, and reflections I have of the day after reading the book 102 Minutes and reflecting on my own experiences from that day. I don't know how I'm going to arrange this show yet, don't know how many characters I'm going to have, don't know what I'm going to be sure to include and what won't read on stage. These are the things that are floating around in my head and haven't been fully developed yet.
