Shadows speak

(Whispers) Don’t say it. Don’t even think it.

.............

(Sighs) You’ve done that already, haven't you. Fine at least don’t say it. No one, especially you know who, shouldn't hear it.

(Whines) But there is no one here. 

(Whispers) Haven’t you heard, walls have ears.

(No-nonsense voice) That’s rubbish. A hot summer night is all there is.

(Whisper-pleading) Whatever just don’t say it.

(Stubborn) Why not? I’m thinking it already. What’s the difference if I say it?

(Whisper – Matter-of-fact) Coz then you cannot withdraw. You cannot pretend it doesn’t exist.

(Insisting) I don’t believe it doesn’t exist now. It’s there in my mind.

(Whisper – insisting) I know that. But..

(Interrupts) Whatever. I’m gonna say it out.

(Sharp whisper) Don’t!!

(Questioning) Why not?

(Says) Coz you’re not ready to say it yet.

(Indignant) Of course I am.   

(Insists) No you’re not.

(Irritates)I’m gonna say it, I’m gonna say it.

(Yells)SHUT UP!!!

(Questioning) Hello?

(Confused) Hey?!!

(...)  ...……..

(Ventures to ask) Are u …

(Sudden) BOO!

(Scared) Oh shit! Will you stop fooling around?

(and then) What the…?!! This is crazy. I should stop talking to myself.  Maybe I should discuss this and just get it out of my head.

Ahem! What was I just telling you?

Oh No!! Here we go again.

Don’t give me that tone.. And don’t roll your eyes!
