Scene 48

CHRIS OPENS THE DOOR.

Chris:Hello? Your door is open. Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.

Annie:Who are you?

Chris:I’m your neighbor. I bought the Gormans’ place two months ago. I’ve just moved in.

Annie:I never heard they sold their place.

Chris:You’re Annie Nielsen, right? They told me a lot about you.

Annie:Like what? What did they say?

Chris:You’re a very talented artist and work for the museum, right? And you’re a widow. Mrs. Gorman admires your roses very much.

Annie:They were so handsome. But now there’s no water pressure in the neighborhood. There’s no electricity and no gas. And, and… there are other things missing, too. You know. Like clean clothes and books I want to read. And, um… some of my favourite paintings – the ones I have to work on.

A BIG HORRIBLE SPIDER STARTS CREEPING ONTO ANNIES HAND.

Annie:Aaah!!!

Chris:What is it?

Annie:They’re everywhere now.

Chris:I got it. It’s gone.

Annie:Thank you.

Chris:You’re welcome. You say your paintings are missing.

Annie:Some of my most precious panels. The ones that remind me. Remind me of my husband and my children. That’s why I never leave.

Chris:Because they might return? I hope that’s true with all my heart.

Annie:It’s not, you know. When you’re dead, you disappear.

Chris:My wife committed suicide after our children died. After I… She was the loveliest person. Don’t you think that’s sad?

Annie:Don’t you have to leave?

Chris:No. But if you want me to go…

Annie:I do.

Chris:All right. The last day I saw my wife it was our anniversary.

Annie:I thought you’d said you gonna leave.

Chris:In a minute. I was sticking around in case there was another problem. It wasn’t a wedding anniversary. It was a very special kind of day no-one else knows about.
