Soulmates
Final part of my 'S' trilogy! A dramatic sci-fi piece written and performed as part of the SciFi Festival London.
JANESH lies centre stage on a table, eyes closed. He appears to be in a hospital bed. He has wires attached to his temples and a breathing mask over his face. We hear the beep of a pulse machine. Beside him sits STEPHANIE, she’s holding his hand and gently crying. DR WEBB enters.
DR WEBB
I’m sorry Stephanie, it’s time.
STEPHANIE
But he’s still breathing.
DR WEBB
We both know that’s not him. It’s the machine.
STEPHANIE
I just hoped...
DR WEBB
There’s nothing more we can do.
DR WEBB walks over and places her hand on STEPHANIE’S shoulder.
DR WEBB
I feel like I really got to know him these past few months.You’re losing someone very special.
STEPHANIE
He was everything to me, Dr Webb. He was my world.
