UNFINISHED One-act Play

 

Heartbeat: Last Scene

After the sensual night of the newlywed couple, Rose woke up alone on the king-size bed with the cold breeze outside their hotel room.

[Rose got up from the bed and saw a note.]

Rose: “I’ll be back. – your loving husband, Stein” (with all smile, she proceeds to the kitchen and cook)

Rose: (talking alone) I can’t wait to have a family with you Stein. I can’t wait.

[her phone rings and she run to it]

Rose: Hey, mom? (it is Stein’s mother)

Aly: Uhm honey, come home already.

Rose: But why mom? (confuse) You do know that I am still with Stein in our honeymoon. I can’t leave him here because he’s gone.

Aly: (sobs, then began to cry loudly) Oh yes honey, he’s gone. Wait, how did you know? (shock for a while)

Rose: I just know mom besides he’ll be back in a minute. So, don’t be too emotional again, we’re doing just fine.

Aly: But honey? (fighting the eagerness to tell while crying)

Rose: (sighs) I know mom, you just miss us especially your baby boy, but we’ll come back tomorrow. Okay?

Aly: You don’t understand! (louder voice but with sobs)

Rose: (started to worry but fights it with a smile) Do I?

Aly: We both know he’s dying.  And I owe you for loving him cautiously in spite that. Please come home honey, we promised to take care of you on behalf of him.

Rose: Mom. No! (acting like she does not believe Stein’s mom)

Aly: Then wait and I’ll be there. I will not let you suffer alone. Bear with me.

[Stein’s mom left the house with their family’s car without ending the call.]

Rose: Mom I pretended not to see. (moans when truth started to sink in) He rush to the hospital last night, does he? I pretended asleep; I’ve always been.

Aly: That’s ok honey. He doesn’t want you also to see him in pain. (sounds reassuring)

Rose: But I never thought that this will end so quickly. I never regret pretending not to see until now. I should’ve been there with him mom. I should’ve been holding his hand, maybe he’ll be stronger to fight that stupid cancer.

Aly: Rose (stops for a while), it’s not cancer that killed him. I thought you were aware, that’s why I left him in your hands even if you’re both young. (almost got angry)

Rose: I don’t understand mom.

Aly: You killed my son Rose, with your overflowing love, I think. (monotone)

[No words can be heard at this moment, only the childlike cries of Rose.]

  Shape Poem Poem about COVID-19 Pandemic   C o n t a m i n a t e d   Today’s world is a prison. None dares to talk nor walk free. Be close with the infection Will think like a detainee.   Knowing the virus is on Makes no single guarantee For lives of the eight billion, We struggle to oversee.   No virus vaccination Renders special decree Of distance, isolation We never get to agree.   One does the sanitation For you with a few to glee. Yet, hold the celebration Is best for security.   Adjust to new convention,   Combat unseen specie. It’s a rare recognition. We barely bear, utterly.   Confine contamination Means ceasing your liberty. The world is a dungeon. It is up for you to see. Just bear, you are a person A prisoner who is free

  CREATIVE WRITING 12 CRAFT ESSAY 1   Resist to Insist! by Jescel Mae P. Dulay   I wonder why we keep on insisting to live on Earth yet have no will to save it. I, myself is troubling to act accordingly in the environment. Though, if we continue to not mind what’s going on, what will be the future of the next generations? There are tons of pollutions, too many people, too many cars, too many factories and too many carbon emissions. The globe is getting warmer and warmer. The world is in danger resulting to severe weather conditions or catastrophes, crisis of food and resources and the spread of diseases.   Now, we are facing a pandemic, a global public health crisis that we couldn’t even beat since last year. Do you plan to just sit and watch these alarming issues to grow in front of yours? If so, you don’t have the right to ask for another day to live. Yet everything isn’t over, we can still educate ourselves and fight with grace. Be mindful and take...
