Scott Turner Schofield in class writing

Performed as a monologue.

 

Character: Boy, age 10

"Have you ever felt your life fly before you? A boy in shorts and a faded t-shirt climbs an apple tree and wonders why we're here or who we really are. Why does he feel like he's flying high above the earth when hes firmly rooted to the ground and taking the dog for a walk? It's like that scene in that movie. Where the camera pans out like it's rooted in outer space. You see the ground sink beneath you as your vision gets higher and higher as if you're flying towards the sky, towards space, towards nowhere. We see the earth, the milky way and suddenly, the scene changes to show a creature holding a marble, thats the universe as humans know it. The creature drops the marble in the bag and then bam! The films over. I feel like that sometimes. It's kinda weird."
