• Act 1 Scene 1

    [scene starts with older man sitting in a chair placed center with 2 to 3 flats placed behind chair as his walls. These walls should be white for the blood effect. The man looks to be in his sixties with a coat and round glasses. He is sleeping soundly as lights come on. Lights should be dim for effect. Use light crying sound effect after a few moments of his sleeping. He will wake with a start. His voice is hoarse and weary.]

    Eric: Evelyn![places head in hands, and then rises slowly. Walks towards the audience while speaking.] Is there a god above...I wonder? If there is, how can he be just? Where is the justice for what I've done. Haunting me with sobbing and voices in my head is not a worthy punishment for what I've done. All those people don't get a second chance at life. They don't even get a chance at the first life they were given. None were able to live close to the sixty years I have been able to. [slowly begins to pace across the stage.] Does God not blame me for it. Does “ I was only following orders.” get me into heaven with the rest of them. Does being forced into the draft give me the right to show the world what true monsters look like. No I may have been forced into it, but I learned to love it. I loved the feeling of power, the feel of bones breaking under my boot, and most of all their sobs. Its been 40 years since that moment that broke me. Something that I loved now [crying effect] turns to haunt my every waking moment. I may have beat her until her cries no longer pierced the frigid air of the camp, yet there is an echo forever ringing in my ears and bashing against my skull. I'm tired of Evelyn, I want her to finally leave me alone. Is there really any other way to remotely try to rid her from my conscious. [looks to the sky and shouts angrily.] God tell me now, give me hope before I rid myself of her forever. [should be close to seat at this point. Which he will crumble into after forever. After a few seconds play crying effect. After a moment he will reach into his coat and pull out a gun. Raises it and places the barrel in his mouth. Closes his eyes and pulls the trigger. Gun shot sound effect. Blood should spray against the white flats behind him. The blood should leave behind a swastika surrounded by blood.]
