*plain black box*
Guy: Perhaps I was chosen from the beginning of time to live there with Agwe at the bottom of the sea. Maybe this is why I dreamed of the starfish and the mermaids having the Catholic mass under the sea. Maybe this was my invitation to go. In any case, I know that my memory of you will live even there as I too become a child of the sea.
Girl: Last night on the radio, I heard that another boat sank off the coast of the Bahamas. I can’t think about you being in there in the waves. My hair shivers. From here, I cannot even see the sea. Behind these mountains are more mountains and more black butterflies still and a seas that is endless like my love for you.
*Lights go down*
*Girl is alone*
*The boy is dead*
Girl: I cannot fathom why the universe hands me such bad luck. My love is gone, and so goes my only peace of mind in this existence.
I cannot handle this anymore…
*Lights go off*
*Audience hears sound of sea*
*Girl is on “cliff”*
Girl: This is it, what will be next? I am but a being in the natural world, leaving to the supernatural. Will our spirits meet when I go? I hope to float like a butterfly... to you.
*She jumps*
*Lights go down*
*back to plain black box*
*Guy enters the scene*
*She awakens on the floor*
