DI/ Female- The Touch of Water
$50.00Price
- (We see Natalie, she is standing in front of something, beat, she is terrified. She reaches forward and turns on the water, she hears it running, the sight of it makes her cringe, she is clearly frightened. She sees us see her, she speaks) Right after it happened I didn’t shower for weeks...thirty-four days to be exact. There was something about the sight, the feel the presence of water that affected me, almost made me feel alive and for a while I didn’t know why and no one would tell me, they wouldn’t tell me. They wouldn’t tell me and I didn’t know…the water. It just didn’t make sense to me, I would stand in the bathroom and I knew that there were important things that I needed to do in the bathroom but it all involved water and I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t let it touch me and for the life of me…I didn’t know why. I wasn’t always a mess. When I was in high school, about your age, I was the most beautiful girl in the room. All of the girls wanted to be my friend and all of the boys wanted to date me. And let’s be honest, I loved it. I mean what girl wouldn’t want the attention from the boys and the pissed off girls because their boyfriends were looking at me. My family life was great. Both of my parents are still married it will be twenty-seven years at the end of next month. (Laughs) I can’t stay with a guy for a few months let alone years. I admire them for their ability to stay together and I think they’re faithful to each other, what is that? (Laughs as she fixes a drink) I mean don’t get me wrong I know about in “In the eyes of God” and all that jazz but if we’re being honest, and we’re being honest right? If we’re being honest it’s all a bunch of bull.
