Monologue

I wrote this with no idea where it could feature in the play, I didn't want to allocate it a place due to its content. My inspiration was the young man's speech he performs in 'Lovesong', he rants on about time and the functions of time before eventually reaching his point that he thought he was becoming boring to his wife. This ranting on of such a big topic I thought was very clever, taking something out of the everyday.
From this, I chose to write about a bigger picture, of space. We have a theme of time, and time passing by and running out, and we live in a world with time, yet in a space where it doesn't exist. I gave myself half an hour to write what came to mind, this was my outcome:


Space,  made up of thousands of universes home to limitless galaxies full of endless stars that shine light for millions of light years no matter how big, small, old or young they are. The part of this never ending mass we know best consists of ten planets surrounded by many moons ceaselessly revolving around a giant ball of gas that can warm your skin from its home millions upon billion of miles away. And yet, among all this, there is you, and there is me. In the midst of an infinity, throughout all the commotion on this planet and space in which it lives are two people, where everything stops. Where time itself is simply forgotten for a moment. The thought of how we could fit into a place that has no edges and keeps on going is replaced by how we can fit into someone else's little infinity. Somehow, it doesn't seem fair, that a place where time doesn't seem to exist, a clock gently ticks. And one day, with that person you found in a never ending place, where everything stopped for a moment, that clock, our clock, will stop ticking.
