Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Essie and Willie (a monologue)

I can see this narration happening very close to the audience, while the memory itself plays out like a dream ballet behind the man speaking. This is an important memory to him. It is important enough that he can describe it so vividly we can see and hear his heart. You feel the end of the cha-cha, with a mix of relief and sadness that the song has ended, but delightfully a new song begins. The story may have ended, but the song and our imaginations continue.
