Debut

The curtain opens.
Heavy scraping sounds that could be the beginning
of a thunder storm.
Spotlight
Falls
On a solitary
Figure.
Center Stage.
Androgynous.
The figure’s eyes
Are
Focused.
On the floor.
A tiny squeal
From the mike
Before
A whisper.
The story begins with
I never though I’d be here, still alive, today.
