Monologue Mania Day # ?? Holdback by Janet S. Tiger (c) for Mar. 31, 2019
a monologue by Janet S. Tiger

(Actor enters, papers in hand)
Holdback.
That's what we do.
We keep a secret. Or we try to.....
I mean, we don't tell the press everything.
We may give them this.....
(Shows several pages)
But not this......
(Looks at something and shudders)
The scene, that is .....private. (Takes a deep breath)
That way, if someone calls us up, and claims to be the killer, well, they have to know certain things, maybe what the murder weapon was, or how the person was killed, or where we found the body......that's what we....holdback.
Simple.
Like life.
You hold back something, just to make sure that if the person really cares, they will know this very important information. That they were inside of you all the time, part of the whole of you, not just what they read in the papers. They have the real scoop, the true story.......
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Because that's what love is, right? The other person just knows us........and that my friend, is why love is a real killer.......
