Polly
Is the blockage sorted?
Plumber
I’ve done what I can for now but it’s not finished. I’ll see you in an hour or so.
Polly
Oh, okay then.
Plumber
I may come back with a policeman, is he in up there?
Polly
I think so. Is it serious then?
Plumber
I’ll let you know in a bit, okay love; try not to worry. I’ll get it sorted..
Polly
Fine. Thanks.
SCENE 25 INT DAY
Narration
So that was it. I am really quite normal, just a shy man with some close friends, keeping my own business; A beautiful period in my life was coming to an end. I was only trying to get by because Loneliness can be so frightening.
Sometimes when I think about all the wonderful things that have happened recently I don’t feel so frightened.
It’s like this maggot, this small maggot that is crawling around down here on the floor with me. He and I have so much in common, we both have the gift of making friends. Close friends; friends who will stick by us. Through thick and thin.
I can hear people knocking on my door, trying to get in. Perhaps they know about my gift; perhaps it is drawing them to me. You see, I don’t even have to move, I don’t have to make any effort at all. I don’t even have to flick my eye lash; like this little worm crawling at my side.
Because I have the gift…
The End….
