Monologue Description: “NOT TO WORRY” is a drama that tells the story of seeing an accident.

Character Description: In this monologue, Walter is an elderly man who witnessed a little boy fall off a swing.  He shares his story with his wife Elyse.

WALTER:

…I don’t feel well Elyse…[sighs heavily with a slight groan]  I don’t know what happened.  I was walking along the park…I was right about to reach the set of swings, when all of a sudden, I witnessed one of the most horrifying things.  A young boy, must have been four or five years old—he was swinging, pretty high on the swing.  There was nobody else around supervising him and—at first, I was surprised at how high this young man was going—amazed even—like an old pro. 

Than fear struck me.  [he grabs his stomach]  I worried that this child was going to fall and—just as I thought that, this little boy went backward, off of the swing and he fell backwards…hitting his head, the back of his head…off the concrete ground. 

I was beside myself.  There was sort of like a popping noise, like something just popped.  I can’t think of a better word for it…just a POP!  And the child layed there, on the ground, not even moving.  My nerves, my whole body, I felt it in my arms, my chest, my neck—I was breathing heavy! 

There was a fence between me and the boy and I at first tried to climb over it.  I was thinking straight.  I just wanted to get to the boy.  I saw an opening—

[calming himself down from getting emotionally excited]

I’m sorry..I just need a second dear…[he breathes in deeply, he exhales heavily, he wipes a tear from his eye with his handkerchief, he clears his throat, he regains his strength to continue his story]

[softly]  I found an opening in the fence to make it to the other side, where the boy was and I went for it.  I ran as best I could to get there and, as I, as I came to him, I notices blood around his head…it seemed to be coming out from his ear.  Yeah…[he sighs]

I was about to kneel down when I heard this terrible terrible terrible scream from the distance…A woman…it was the mother.  She was waving her arms sporadically and racing over to where I was.  It was her son…the little boy was her son who happened to go missing for fifteen minutes before he was found—found at the bottom of my feet and…

[he cries]

Oh dear, it was painful to see this woman, this mother kneel down beside her son, who was unconscious and—an ambulance came within five minutes.  I was surprised.  When they brought the boy into the ambulance, his eyes opened, which was a good sign thank God.  I asked if they thought he would be okay and one of the, you know, the man, the nurse there, he assured me that it, that the boy was in good hands and that he should be fine…not to worry.
