A Memorable Fancy

A small room, sparsely furnished.  On the table lies a large sprig of parsley and a bottle of ouzo.

Enter GREGOR SAMSA and SAMUEL BECKETT

BECKETT:  Good afternoon.

Silence.

BECKETT:  Good afternoon?

Silence.

BECKETT:  Pozzo?  Lucky? Pause.  Estragon?  Vladimir?  Longer pause.  Godot?

SAMSA cannot talk, as he is a gigantic insect.

Thank you xD

I preferred The Castle to Metamorphosis.

If I may?

Invokes refers to an allusion or ritual - I believe 'evokes' was the word you failed to find there.

Also, a semicolon is most inappropriate in such circumstances. Neither "Most prominently" or "pity" stand by themselves as separate clauses, so a comma or implied caesura should be used if one wishes to convey a pause. Most correctly, that sentence should have no punctuation except for a full stop, being a simple implied subject - implied verb - object construction.

Don't take it so harshly. Men are only as the time is, after all.
