LIGHTS UP: Two men walking in the blinding snow. Through the snow, A GIRL IN RED appears. Then disappears.

1: Did you see that?

2: What?

1: That girl. That girl in red.

2: No.

1: You must have seen her! She was in bright red. Right there.

2: You’re crazy. How can you see anything in this snow?

(The GIRL appears somewhere else. Disappears.)

1: There! There again!

2: You’re mad, you know. Let’s just get home.
(Trudges on.)
Are you coming?

(1 stands transfixed. The GIRL in red appears somewhere, maybe in the audience. 2 does not see.)

1: No, you go on. I’m following something else.

2: Suit yourself. It’s cold!
(He goes on, and exits.)

1: I found you in the snow.

(GIRL beckons. 1 follows her. Lights fade. Snow falls.)
