Set up: Two girls. One mother, one daughter. “Daughter” is running, very hard. “Mother” is standing there, making her run faster and faster. Younger appears to be very frightened by her. There is a loud pulse in the background.
Daughter:
I never know when I get to stop.
Or how long I have to go before you let me.
I can’t stop.
You can’t stop. (yells to mother)
Why am I along for this?
Did you have to take me with you? (long pause)
Maybe if I keep pushing..
Just a little longer..
Just a little farther..
I’ll fall out of it.
Or maybe…
(Girl collapses, loud screaming face on screen, then goes to silence, except for the heartbeat in the background slower and not as loud. Out of breath.)
Maybe I’ll get out of this myself.
And leave you,
Alone,
Strained,
And deserted.
Like me.
