Setting: A secluded beach at sunset. Two folding beach chairs are set up facing the
water. A large beach ball is partially visible behind one of the chairs.
CHARACTERS:
As the scene opens, ALICE is pacing while BRAD lounges in one of the chairs.
ALICE: (Glancing around furtively) Brad, I'm telling you, it's all connected. The
government, the aliens, and the missing composers are all black and white!
BRAD: (Sighing) Alice, please. Can't we enjoy the sunset for once without delving into
ALICE: (Reaches into her bag and pulls out a magazine) No, you need to see this! (She

ALICE: (Holding the bottle reverently) Feel it, Brad. The smooth, cool glass. Smell the
lingering aroma of aged grapes. Is that a hint of ectoplasm? Listen closely; you can almost hear
the ghostly echoes of "Symphonie Fantastique" trapped inside. And look! The label—it's slightly
BRAD: (Rolling his eyes) Alice, you're being ridiculous— (He shifts in his chair and
suddenly freezes)
BRAD: (Slowly pulls out a beach ball from behind his chair, looking bewildered) Where

ALICE: (Hugging the beach ball) Fine! Go! But when Berlioz's head rolls back into

My deepest fears at this moment revolve around the uncertainty of the future. I'm afraid
of failing to achieve my goals and disappointing those who believe in me. There's a gnawing

worry about climate change and its irreversible impact on our planet. I fear losing connections
with loved ones as time passes and the possibility of facing health issues that could limit my
abilities.
Being surrounded by nature brings me the most joy. The feeling of soft grass under my
feet, the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze, and the sight of sunlight filtering through tree
branches fill me with a sense of peace and wonder. I'm happiest when sharing a meal with close
friends, laughing over shared memories, and creating new ones. The satisfaction of completing a
challenging project, learning a new skill, or helping someone in need also brings me immense
joy.

moving eyes and a shaky hand. Character 2 (Joy): Lumina - A tall woman with a large aura in
Shadowself: (Pacing anxiously) We cannot sit, lie, stand, or walk here. It's not safe.
Lumina: But what do we have here? You see The beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. Savor
Shadowself: Peace? Where is the peace when all that is seen is the decay of what was
once a strong economy and thriving country? Before you know it, it will be time to close up and
go home!

Lumina: Time is the one thing we have in this world that is given to us freely, my dear
friend. Every second is a chance to change the world, make a vessel, and improve relations.
Shadowself: But what if Schiller’s questions to the Muse have not been answered
correctly, and the Muse did not even bother to respond to Rousseau? What if humankind fails in

Lumina: Well, let me show you. So here it is, my hand stretched out for you to hold; let’s
A figure emerges and stands in the moonlight, but only the front half of his body is
exposed to light.
I am the murmurs of self-doubt and the chorus of hope that grows with synergistic
complexity as its basis beneath the soil of life. My heart pounds in dread of what is to come, but I
now have a heart filled with hope. I wake up in darkness and fear, but I also wake up to morning
The strands of my hair shake as my hands extend forward, and I fear being turned down
or lost. Yet these same hands have the power to make or mold something, to consolidate
someone, and to touch another person. I am the voice that says, ‘What if all turns out to be

This inconsistency makes me human. It keeps my feet on the ground, my eyes wide open,
and my senses on high alert. My joys make me fly, they make me hopeful, and they give my life
meaning. Altogether, they make me strive, grasp, and thrive in the now, which, despite its reality
I will be of both the darkness and the light, the skeptic and the believer. Thus, I am
complete and ready to confront whatever arises with fear and victory in this battle.
