Monologue Mania Day # 1703 The Fear Factor (for Halloween) by Janet S. Tiger (c) Oct. 15, 2018
This monologue is a companion piece to last night's (#1702)- and will be part of my upcoming collection of monologues for teenagers.
(Part of the countdown for Halloween - only this is..... the real scary stuff)
The Fear Factor
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger © all rights reserved tigerteam1@gmail.com
(A teenage boy runs in, he is sweating and very disheveled. He waves wildly.)
Hey, I need something fast, nothing alcoholic, I'm driving, do you have like a milk shake?
(Listens)
All right! Make it a double! Yeah, two of them! And put lots of chocolate syrup in there.
(He paces as he waits, wiping his wet head with a sleeve)
Man, I have done some gnarly stuff on my skateboard, you know? And over in Hawaii, I've surfed super big waves, and I even went out on a blind date one time, that was pretty scary......but today, oh, man, I have never been so frightened in my whole life, not even when I was a kid and my brother told me that there were monsters in the closet who came out at night - I didn't sleep for two weeks!
But this, this is REAL scary stuff! A couple of times, I thought I was finished!
And I'm not even twenty yet! It's not fair! I wanna live! I wish I hadn’t promised my Mom I’d do this! But hey, a promise to Mom…..I can’t go back on that……
Brain freeze! Maybe that'll help and I won't be so afraid any more....
(He now takes the second shake, pays)
(Thinks) Nah, still scary......(looks at his phone) Hey......gotta go.....
(He turns to leave, stops, looks back)
What am I doin'? Can't you figure it out? Shakin' like a leaf....nerves shot ......stomach is all knotted up......can't you tell, man.....I'm teaching my grandfather to drive!
(He shudders and exits. Not the end....of fear!)
