Play-a-Day Wednesday (Week 3)

Shadows and Regrets


[A girl, Lena, is walking down a street, holding tightly onto a suitcase. She is looking around, a sad expression on her face.]

Lena:
[Softly] Nothings... changed. [Pause.] This is a bit of a let down...
[Lena approaches a house but doesn't enter and instead sits on the porch swing. Another girl walks by, see's Lena and runs up to her.]
Sarah:
Lena! It's been so long!
[Sarah and Lena hug. Sarah smiles enthusiastically while Lena just smiles slightly. Sarah sits next to Lena, in a comfortable silence.]
Sarah:
So how long are you visting for?
Lena:
Not long. Just a little while.
[Sarah nods. Another comfortable silence.]
Sarah:
Everything's changed hasn't it?
Lena:
Yes. Nothings changed, yet everything has changed.
[Sarah nods again. Lights fade.]
