A monologue from The Sleeping World<\/i> by Crystal Skillman<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

(Female, Dramatic, 20s – 30s)
\n<\/b>Evening, the light is fading. The falling snow is a steady stream of white outside the window. The coldest it\u2019s been. The scripts are scattered about on the floor. Music still plays softly, most likely Green Day now. Various plates of half devoured frozen meals are lying about, beer bottles. Sam, Angie, Luke and Tom piled in various sweaters, jackets and blankets are huddled together in a circle drinking beer. Sam painfully recounts Peter\u2019s passing, whose life was cut too short. She went to his funeral, an event none of the other three attended. She describes the funeral and the burial in great detail, along with her experience at the grave during and after he was laid in the ground. Her sorrow compounds on itself the longer she speaks, and she apologizes for secluding herself during a time when he (and she) needed someone the most.<\/span><\/p>\n
