    I feel slightly exposed reading this monologue, seeing as this feels like St. James just ripped these thoughts right out of my head. There's poetry in the panic that's so delightful to experience, and you end up hoping everything works out for our desperately horny protagonist.

    Hayley St. James understands the inner monologues of characters so well, and in PEP TALK they deliver such a strong verbal monologue that combines all the nuance and emotional complexity we've all felt in quarantine. And at the core are such relatable desires to be touched and to be seen that transcend any one period in our time. Well done!
