Featured Monologue – Snowdrift
TRUDY: I think one time I felt it, but it was only an accident. My daddy was stone-cold drunk and needed assistance to get up the stairs.Â
I remember him having to put his arm around my shoulders to keep his balance. Each step we took seemed like forever; he kept holding on, never letting me go, and then something happened; it must have been only for a few seconds; I imagined I was holding on to him and he was helping me up those stairs, and suddenly I felt protected; safe, like nothing could ever get close enough to harm me.
And it was then, after that moment, I felt my body turn cold and the weight of him became unbearable.
I couldn’t hold him up any longer; I thought my lungs were going to collapse. With the last of all my strength I plunged us forward at the top step, and we crashed down hard onto the floor.
He still complains to me about his one knee stiffening up from that fall. He never knew I cut my chin open. That’s where I have this scar from.
