A short Beckettian nightmare monologue that analogizes personal struggle as quicksand—"Any circumstance you find yourself in where the effort it would take to remove yourself is almost more unpleasant than staying still, quiet, complacent." In spite of the static stage image, Heyman's monologue evolves from complacency to a careful hope in just two pages. Touching and evocative.
