Featured Monologue – Dragonfly Whispers

FLORA: It was ah, a creaking noise, footsteps…like dragonfly whispers…heard them walking back and forth all morning, listening…they listen to us, listen to everything…I almost went into the shed to get your hammer because I wanted to give them a great big BOP on the head.

NORMAN laughs.

Right through that paper thin wall…BOP! And I’d reach in with my arm and I’d take hold of its little wings and pull it right in through the wall and I’d say, “What are you listening to?!” “Park your nosy ass in someone else’s house!” That’s what I’d say.

Hopefully, it’d get the point, hopefully it’d tell all of them to stop bothering us and let us be for a while…we deserve our own inner peace, don’t we?  We’ve worked hard..long enough for our own little bit of peace…
