dear diary its been a year since Mary died.

In 2016

It is spring and there is a teenage boy called Kenshi he is sitting on a park bench, writing in his diary. It is a warm Spring with a cool wind and spitting rain. All the people walking past are in black or gray clothes

(Center stage)

(He reads aloud sadly.)

Dear diary it's been a year now since Mary died.

It's still hard to cope with out her. I miss her smile her laugh. I have no one to talk to. You see I've not been my self since she died. I've not been able to open up. Every thing is a shade of gray. I just want to hold her once again.

(Stage left)

A spotlight on Mary. She's reaching out. She's in white.

Kenshi gets off the bench to grab her but she fades away. He starts crying.

SCENE 2

There's a blackout.

( Kenshi center stage at a desk)

Kenshis in school in a class room every ones talking and laughing accept him and he sits alone and he's miserable. The bell rings and he walks out the class room and puts on his music and puts his earphones on.

Black out

Kenshi is sitting on the bench again with his dairy then this girl sits on the other side. She has a book with her she sits and reads it quietly. She is in bright clothes. It starts to get dark and then she leaves

Black out.

The next day it's the same thing happens again he is sitting on the bench and then she sits down.
