Characters:
Young Man- Mysterious man that is trapped and alone.
Voice that calls out to him- A voice that reaches out to him from the darkness.
Setting:
A pitch black with a single light shining down in the middle to a man that is unconscious, nothing can be seen around him and it just stretches on. The only thing that has any other color in the room is the floor, which is just as white in contrast as the rest of the room is Black.
Young Man: “Where… Where am I? I don’t remember anything. This room is so dark… Hello! Is there anyone here!”
A strange, confused like voice echoes in the room.
Voice: “Why yeeeessss, there is you! You are here, so there is someone here after all. What a silly question to ask since you already know the answer.”
Young Man: “Why yes I am here but I was wondering if there was anyone else but me. Where are you? Who are you? I can’t see you anywhere!”
Voice: Where am I? Who am I? That’s a good question… Shouldn’t the answer you be seeking be who are you? Why I perfectly know who I am! I am on a beach in Cancun, I can hear the waves right now! Don’t you hear them?
The sound of birds and the calm waves of the ocean can be heard in the distance.
Young Man: I can hear them! I can hear them! But why is it so dark and the floor so hard? If we are at a beach this is unnatural!
Voice: I said that I was at the beach, I don’t have a clue where you are! You don’t have much of an attention span do you? Not very bright either!
Young Man: What a cruel trick! How can you not know where I am if we are talking to each other at this very moment?
Voice: “I am not your keeper, I am not your parent, nor am I your guider! Not everyone can know where you are, you yourself must find out… Then again, we never really do know quiet where we are or who we are, do we? Ahh yes, that is life though, mmmhmmm.”
Young Man: “What a laughable thought, how could you not know where I am when you yourself do and are talking to me?”
Voice: “How do you not know exactly where someone is when talking on a phone?”
Young Man: “I never thought of that so stranger how do I find out where I am?”
Voice: “I already said! Do I have to repeat it again! Find out who you are!”
Young Man: “All right! But how do I found out who I am?”
Voice: “Find out where you are!”
Young Man: “To find out who I am I have to figure out where I am, but to find out where I am I have to figure out who I am?”
Voice: “Precisely you’re getting it!”
Young Man: “That’s quite a riddle, how is anyone suppose to solve that?”
Voice: “You tell me? I still haven’t figured that out.”
Young Man: “But you know where you are!”
Voice: “Eh, what?”
Young Man: “Oh, Never mind.
Voice: “How dare you say I don’t have a mind! Why at least I know who I am!”
Young Man: “Who are you then?”
Voice: “Well who are you?”
Young Man: “ I am me?”
Voice: “Well that’s good to know I am me too! A pleasure to meet you!”
Young Man: “But we haven’t met!”
Voice: “Than what’s the point of exchanging names?”
Young Man: “You will be the end of me!”
Voice: “Well, if I am than the beginning doesn’t look too good either.”
Young Man: “Haha! That’s the best thing you’ve said this whole time!”
Voice: “Oh? Why is that?”
Young Man: “I figured out where I am!”
Voice: “Where is that?”
Young Man: “I am me!”
Voice: “Why I am me to! A pleasure to meet you!”
Through the darkness appears a white door and the young man walks through it. He appears at a beach with the gentle breeze creasing him gently. Suddenly he hears another voice.
Another voice: Hello! Is anyone here?
Young Man: “Why yeeeessss, there is you! You are here, so there is someone here after all. What a silly question to ask since you already know the answer.”

- Description: This was a play I made for a creative writing class a while ago. The play is about a young man with a little mystery surrounding him. My Stories and plays are a bit poetic in meaning and the ending might not be what you think it is. If anyone could really figure out what it means and not just the impression it gives I would be impressed.
