The Human Race
a monologue by Janet S. Tiger
© 2018 all rights reserved
(One of the caregivers runs in, raising hands as in victory. Is wearing a number
on the front, like a runner, stops, is gasping, the others are cheering)
I can't believe it! I made it! I got through another day! (Deep breath) I will not go through the
different tasks of the day - we all have the same list! But I will ask everyone a very simple question
- one that is bothering me no matter how fast I run. Or how far I don't go no matter how fast I run!
Ok, here it is. We are all in a race. Faster and faster! Even as we age, there is always a rush....
.and now, with several friends and family coming close to that finish line.....who will get there first?
All the way to the finish line. Which is....death.
So, why is it a race? Why does anyone want to win this race?
Or is that why they call it.....the human race?
(Goes to sit in the wheelchair. Lights down, end of scene)
