Welcome to Monologue Mania- one new free* monologue a day- -and still going!
Two little bits of glass in just the right direction, held on my head by some wire.....and I can see you all.....my, you look good!
These glasses make it all come back to me.....like when I was a kid, and everything was simple, it was clear......I understood it all, and there was nothing I couldn't do......and then, was it last year? I can't remember. Things started getting blurry again....and not just ...(sighs) not just my eyes.....
It's like my brain got blurry......and now.....I am not sure of anything.....except my brother here.....
(He indicates empty space)
My brother always took care of me, he's great. I mean, he died ten years ago, but he's back now, helping me, and he's young and he can walk and I mean, he still tries to get me into trouble, but we have a lot of fun together! Right?
(He talks to his 'brother')
And now, we have to get along, because we have another show to do in 20 minutes, just like when we were kids....and you all have been a wonderful audience! Thank you!
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Am I blurry to you?
(He smiles, takes off his glasses, holds out his hand for his brother and now, is gone)

(Actor crawls onstage, reaching with hands, looking for something)
They must be here someplace.....I dropped them and they must've bounced......my glasses! My kingdom for my glasses!
(Finds them, is ecstatic, waves glasses, peers out at audience)
Blurry! Without these, you are all blurry! And now...
(Puts on the glasses with great fanfare)
Not blurry!
