The Missing Page
In the dramatic monologue The Missing Page, Fabian shares insights into his own personality with a woman he has just met at a house party.
FABIAN: I spend my time making people unhappy. Yesterday, I robbed an elderly woman. I watched her cry out in the middle of the square. People surrounded her in fear. They tried to help.
It was all so humiliating.
I walked through the gathered crowd and gave her back her purse. I kissed her on her forehead and ran away.
One time I robbed the flowers from a gravestone. I placed the flowers on my mother’s gravestone instead. Before I left the cemetery, I decided to divide the flowers between both gravestones.
That was on a Tuesday.
I beat a man in an alleyway in order to take his pinky ring. It was a black pearl silver ring, something I always wished to have as my own, but after I crossed the road to get away, I decided to walk back to the man lying bloodied on the ground…I placed the ring back on his finger and left.
I have done things like this all my life.
