Please note -this is for my book - 30 Monologues Under 30 Seconds
This monologue is for - male, older
This is under 30 seconds -exactly as first posted Day # 682, Dec. 25, 2015 All the monologues for this book have been timed - but your performance will determine the length. Usually between 30 seconds and one minute is acceptable for auditions preferring shorter monologues. Use a stopwatch for good results - video for even better. Good luck!

(The man who walks out is older, dressed in black, formal, head bowed)
I can't believe it. They warned me when I met her, that she was too young for me....that....if I married her .....death would be knocking at my door much sooner. But I didn't care, because she was so beautiful....so young...so vibrant and ......she made all my friends - the ones still alive - green with envy.........What did it matter..... why would I want to live another twenty years of life if it was without her? What would twenty years without her be like? Better than five with her? Four with her?
(Sighs) One with her.
How do you choose? How do you know?
(He turns to leave, stops, looks back, wipes his eyes)
How would I know....that when death knocked at my door.....it would be for her......
(He exits.......)
