Interesting story of 2 siblings who fight the New Order to save the worlds. Yes, worlds...Underworld, Overworld, Freeland, Shadowland (don't go there unless you are just passing through to another world). Reality, nope. Entertaining, yep.

Monologue by Matt Thomas

I was looking through some archives from a few years ago and ran across some monologue's my son wrote in Acting 3 when he was a senior in high school. I really liked this one and wanted to share.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR
Looking in the mirror I see sadness. Eyes that were once clear are now clouded and glazed. After a few seconds, the image can no longer be seen as a image, but more like shape formations that move and dance in the dim light. A few more seconds and the shapes all merge together in a blur of color and light. The mirror holds a hypnotic quality that keeps me from looking away. For brief moments, I see sounds through ripples in the colors. Then I start to see all my emotions played out in front of me, all at once. In the midst of all this, something outside of the mirror, like a sound or noise, catches my attention. The trance is broken, lost in the endless currents of the world until the next time I decide to lose myself in the mirror.
