    Every word of this monologue of numbness and encroaching grief rings true. The specificity of the details are heart wrenching (Oh that Pippin t-shirt ...). I was moved to a place beyond tears.

    Arianna Rose takes you right to the event...the feelings...the grief...with this monologue. I found my heart beating faster as the fireworks boomed. A heartwarming piece of writing.

    What a powerful monologue of grief and loss - so very raw. We encounter Frankie is the depths of numbness and we feel what Frankie cannot. A wonderful reminder that we never know what a stranger near us is experiencing.
