END SCENE
WOW! So much comes across in this scene, a very short scene, that you wrote! I think I may have to try writing in play style. Thanks for sharing this way of writing and giving me the nudge to try being a playwight.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity that allows me to read, step back and think about this scene and how it lands. I can see it in my mind's eye and I learn something about the relationship in the space of a few lines.
