LIGHTS UP: A MAN alone in a blankness.

MAN
I am the forgotten character.
From the forgotten time.
From the forgotten play.
I had things to say,
Plans to make,
Things to do.
But I’ve forgotten them.
It won’t be long
Until you’ve forgotten me, too.
The only memorable thing I can do…
Is disappear.

(Before our eyes, he dematerializes. We hear his voice from afar.)

HIS VOICE:
And then I’m gone. Just like that.

(Lights fade on the blankness.)


END OF PLAY.
