LAY IT DOWN, CHILD.

 

(setting: bedroom. rustic-hued bedsheets. red lamp. purple curtains. jewelry strung around a dilapidated Indian statuette. scribblings in yellow Post-it notes tacked to corkscrew bulletin board hanging over crowded desk)

Manu: This room. It’s nice.

Dianne: I’ve lived here for 26 years. It reflects my dreams.

Manu: But you wake up to this every morning… And perhaps even in the middle of the night. It is your reality, too.

Dianne: Now you’re standing here.

Manu: Yes. In your “realm of dreams”.

Dianne: …You’re real, aren’t you?

Manu: I am.

Song: WALK INTO THIS ROOM - LIVE
