A woman stands in a pool of water.
WOMAN
When the rains came
I found myself
alone
MAN
You stayed.
WOMAN
I didnt want to.
MAN
But you stayed.
WOMAN
I did.
MAN
Didnt heed the warnings.
WOMAN
I heeded them.
MAN
You didnt listen.
2.
WOMAN
I listened.
MAN
You didnt act on them.
WOMAN
I didnt act on them.
MAN
Then they were not heeded.
A moment.
MAN (CONTD)
I suppose you want to be rescued.
WOMAN
I want it to stop.
MAN
It will.
WOMAN
When.
MAN
I cant say.
WOMAN
How do you know.
MAN
History.
WOMAN
You cant be sure.
MAN
I can. It will pass. Storms come and go. Waters rise and fall. Has been. Will be.
WOMAN
Unless it didnt.
3.
A moment.
MAN
You were warned.
WOMAN
I was.
MAN
You were warned and you knew the risks and you took it.
WOMAN
I only meant to live.
MAN
I know.
WOMAN
I only meant to survive.
MAN
We all meant to survive. But this is how some of us didnt.
This is how some of us didnt.
They stop.
Lights down.
End.
