WALK AWAY!
[A Short Play]
The Time is 3:15am; Abigail faces swells with tears as she sit on her bed holding her tears-soaked pillow to her chest. Tears streams down her cheeks uncontrollably, apparently feeling a sense of deep loss. She wipes her face with her bare hands over and over but the tears keeps flowing. After a while she uses her leg to draw her phone lying somewhere on the bed to herself. Wiping her tears, she dials a number, the phone rings endlessly with no one picking it. She dials it again, no response, she dials it the third time, and this time, the phone was cut off from the other end. This triggers a loud outburst of sobbing in Abigail.
Early in the morning, a knock is heard on the door. Abigail, looking morose and tardy, rises from her bed after recognizing her Uncle’s voice and goes towards the door.
UNCLE RICHARD: (Outside) Good Morning Abigail. It’s Uncle Richard. Don’t tell me you are not set, because I’m not going to take it lightly with you. I came all the way to celebrate with you on this special day. We cannot afford to be late to the Award ceremony. (Door Opens, Uncle Richard is Baffled) Hey Girl, what is the matter? Is everything alright? (The whole room is in a mess. The floor is littered, clothes, shoes and bags scattered everywhere. He quickly goes in to check if there is an intruder in the house and found none. He checks the window burglary to see if the house was burgled overnight). What is happening here? What happened to you? Abigail looks on speechless)
