It all reads true - I thought the child she had was going to be his. act 2 perhaps will see this be true?! Sounds like both of them are still the same!

Thanks--that was quick! I channeled Marilyn--as I do all my characters, never knowing what they'll say/do--she sure went off the deep end! (The real Marilyn never responded --probably spooked by Chuck's eagerness! He was a bit let down; was sure she'd want to meet for lunch. As for having his child--they didn't go all the way, as they say.) Cheers. LIZ
Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
I love it! You are a great story writer. Do carry on with this script and see where it leads you. Surely you have scads of tales between you and Chuck...

Thanks! I had great fun with this--I channeled Marilyn having no idea how she would respond and she took off like a woman possessed--my characters always surprise me! (The real Marilyn never responded to Chuck--she was likely spooked by his eagerness!) As for the scads of tales--I wrote dual stories based on our respective quirks--released back in February as PERILS IN PINK AND GREY. Cheers. LIZ

Lovely! Pink and gray look pretty together...
I was sleeping. Then I worked on my portfolio.
Comment from RShipp
Two very interesting and introspective monologues of a happening so many years ago.
I did not see this needing the scenery details. We created them in our minds as we saw them reading the letters adn then processing the results.
Well done.

You again! I'm pleased that we're of like minds re the irrelevance of stage and scene stuff for this monologue duet. Keeps production costs down! Glad you liked it. I Cheers. LIZ
Comment from Bichon
I don't usually read many scripts, but I really liked this one! The detailed character description and personal dialogue really brought it to life with the essence of humour too. Great work!

Thanks for stopping by! How's the pack howling these days? Going stir-crazy cooped up in their den, like we humans are, I imagine. Glad you enjoyed this piece--I took great amusement in the writing! Cheers. LIZ

I have started a new little short novel that has taken over the Wolf story for now, oops.. I would not be surprised if they had cabin fever though!!
Comment from Brenda Henderson
I loved reading this. I believe that it has great promise. I can see the Hallmark movie in my mind's eye while writing this. It would be wonderful with the letters being read by narrators with the story picking up when the two meet. I hope that you do decide to develop this. Well done!

That was quick! Thanks for stopping by, Brenda. I originally posted this three weeks ago; didn't get many views so I decided to promote it again. So pleased you enjoyed this. I don't think I'd dare have them meet at the end--she'd take a hatchet to his head for sure! Cheers. LIZ

LOL
Comment from Puzzle
I'll be honest with you. I rarely read books on here. I'm not sure exactly why this one caught my eye but it did. And I read it. And I thought it was very intriguing that despite the age they were still pondering things that happened in high school. I'm 41 and sometimes I think about that kind of stuff. But I thought by 70 you wouldn't care anymore. But that's why I think I loved this. I wanted to keep reading. I wanted to see if chuck and Marilyn get together! Lol. This was really good!!!!

So glad your interest got caught along with your eye! I am delighted to read your reaction to this twisted tale. Cheers. LIZ (Looks like Chuck, alas, is stuck with me. Don't know if you caught my little dig at him--we've been ten years together and the reason he gave for dismissing his old flame was merely on account of her living nearly half an hour away.) Cheers. LIZ
Comment from George Anderson
I like the view points of chuck and then Marilyn and a nice touch that act one is based on truth. Of course you can't exactly know the view point of Marilyn other than that she blew Chuck off, but still a great fabrication that leaves you wanting more of this story.

Thanks, George. I had a great time doing this. When I set out to do Marilyn's piece I had no clue as to what she was going to say, she began blandly then--boy, she sure spewed! Cheers. LIZ

Elizabeth,
I'm not a scriptwriter, but this doesn't seem like the right format for a script. Where's the setting? I don't think scripts are written in first person point of view.
Of course if this story were true and the real Marilyn totally blew Chuck off, there would be no story.
This was written well, easy to follow, good pacing. I like the way you showed Marilyn remembering the details of Chuck's offense, not that she remembered, of course.
A brief bio of her last 50 years as regards (to) the sundry places she lived and worked. Nothing personal.
which (change 'which' to 'an') unlikely event he termed a
he is an infrequent flier and thus had failed to scan the runway when my message landed. (Nice metaphor!) (I agree, nice metaphor.)

Thanks, Patricia, AKA Eagle Eyes! The fix(es) is(are) in. Re the script format--good points. I've since added notes regarding the lack of setting, etc. for this pair of monologues. Bottom line: Regarding production expenses--The price is right! Cheers. LIZ
