Elise Play Lines

shivers

Yr cold. Take the blanket.

No

You can’t swim.

So?

And you walk to the edge of the water telling me you wanna play the part of Cassandra Speigle in that biopic they’re making.

I should have gotten the part.

But you didn’t

I’m not without talent

Of course not!

I can carry a tune—

Well—

Better than that Teresa bth.

There are other parts.

She drowned herself. How come you think?

Despair. That’s what her husband… (cliff) said. “I felt that we had arrived at a beginning and she felt we were at the end—- not an end, but the end.”

“I’m gonna drink… sandy floor.”

“Silly kid.”

The stars are all out.

But far away…up close.

Did she say that?

No, I did.

Hmmmm.

What if I don’t get to be who I want to be?

You’ll be someone else.

What was that? Sounded like applause.

Go back to sleep

It sounded like— someone or something was out there— clapping

I’m going back to sleep.

SHE HAS LINES AND DOES STUFF.

SLEP

shuffles towards door

Where are you going?
