Featured Monologue – Woman With Wings
KELTON: …Well, alright. First, I was taken back by being the only one out here on the patio for such a lively event; then I noticed this dreadful dead silence; then I thought it wasn’t so dreadful after all. It was the kind of silence where only our own movements are heard, which led me to my usual, unsettling, morbid thoughts.

What have I been? I, too, will be forgotten. (Beat) I remember playing (he points) as a little boy near that fountain, always gazing up at that naked woman with wings. Now, I find myself looking down at her, different perspective, same fountain. I’ve evolved; I’ve grown, but what am I supposed to learn?
