Welcome to Monologue Mania- one new free* monologue a day- -and still going!
(A woman comes out - she is an older version of Handsome Woman Day # 329)
You know those shows......Whatever happened to........do you remember them? I don't. And I don't care. Who are these people no one knows what happened to? Actors in TV shows I never watched. Politicians I never liked. Celebrities whose faces I can't recognize!
I really don't give a damn about all these other forgotten folks......because....my main concern is.....whatever happened to...ME?
That's right....ME! I look in the mirror and who the hell is that anyhow? My mother! What the hell is she doing in my house? And I look around and my grandchildren see photos of me in albums and say...'ooh, grandma, you were pretty!' With an emphasis on the ...'were'!
So where did I go? How did these years get away from me? Replaced with wrinkles and sagging everything? Where is the young person who could have done anything? What exactly have I done? I'm not famous. I'm not rich. I'm just...here. (Thinking) Well, I guess that's better than the alternative.
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
So, in case you're wondering whatever happened to me......I'm in the complaint department!
