One Day Down
Written by Samantha Toy Ozeas
It’s the final week before Mock Trial Nationals, and Senior team members Marion and Simon are struggling to keep their team on task. After receiving an oddly violent practice case in the mail, the team begins to unravel at the seams, and polarizing views on how to most carefully discuss a survivor’s story begins to test loyalties. The team falls apart at the seams as each member is put on trial for their complacency, and the practice case is revealed to be part of a larger vengeance plot.
One Day Down comments on the stigma and toll of speaking up against sexual violence, and the paranoia inflicted on survivors.
