There is total silence on the stage only the rain drops can be heard Mr Landon: (removes his tie from his neck) anyone? Yusuf: you chose to stay outside remember?? Old woman: (shivering) my son please come in, there isn’t anything left for this old rusty body of mine, if I die today at least I die saving a promising kind heart of yours (coughing loudly) please come in (takes off the suit she is wearing) you all still have a bright future ahead (she tries to step outside the canopy) New occupant 1: (grabs her by her shoulder) you haggard old woman with your stupidity again you better stay here!!! Old woman: So finally I am noticeable again right? (tries to free herself) New occupant 1: better stop struggling before I beat the hell out of you here right now!!

Ambrose just allow me to die in peace (sobbing) Ambrose did I commit a sin taking you in when my daughter died of childbirth? You killed my daughter but I still took care of you and did my best to groom you up (grabs his shirt) Ambrose where did I go wrong? Why do you hate me so much? Does beating me up everyday makes you sleep better in the night? Do you use it to boast in the mist of your peer group or maybe it makes you feel manly every hour? Ambrose!! (places her face on his chest) you are just 24 years with many more you have to achieve in life, that’s always my prayer for you Ambrose (now hugging him) Tell me now where I went wrong? I deserve to know!!! (sobbing uncontrollably) Ambrose: (petting her gray hairs) my….. Chibyke: (coughs out loud) 24 years!! Ambrose: (ignores him) my problem is not with you Old woman (there is heavy breeze now blowing with the rain) you don’t know how many times I had to go to bed blaming myself for my mother’s death, thinking every night if I had done something different maybe she would still be alive today… Old woman: But you were just a baby Ambrose: I know but you still rubs it in my face… Old woman: that’s was years ago, my anger always gets the best of me, I will never do anything intentional to hurt you Ambrose: (hugs her) yet you did daily, weekly, monthly. even in my sleep I had nightmares because of you… Old woman: (crying) I am so sorry my little Ambrose!!

Mr Landon: (speaking faintly and shivering) I hate to interrupt this.. (coughs loud) this lovely but I seriously need…(falls down unconscious) He is been drag inside the canopy by Ambrose and Yusuf New occupant 3: (frightened) is he dead? Occupant 1: (checks his pulse) no he isn’t but his breathing is faint (adjusts Mr Landon who is lying helpless on the concrete floor of the canopy) he needs a CPR Yusuf: what’s that? Occupant 1: I am a nurse.. Yusuf: (interrupts) what’s CPR? Occupant 1: he’s not breathing so he needs someone to give to a mouth to mouth respiration Yusuf: (bends down to observe the helpless Mr Landon on the floor) I will do it Occupant 1: OK while I give him the mouth to mouth you press his chest like this(she demonstrates how a CPR is done to him) Yusuf: I want to give him the mouth to mouth… Occupant 1: ok Chibyke: why? So you are trying to get back at him right? Yusuf: maybe, or maybe I am trying to save him (smiles) so when he wakes up he will wish he is dead (touch mr Landon’s cold cheeks) Chibyke: (laughs) that’s after he kills you first Occupant 1: let’s start now Both of them gives him a CPR Ambrose: Grrrrr Old woman: He needs to get warm (gives the nurse his suit) take this he needs it, please remove his wet shirt now it’s wet Ambrose: take my polo shirt too( (he hands it to the nurse) Old woman: Ambrose the weather is too cold please wear your shirt Ambrose: no need for that I have you by my side (hugs her) Chibyke: Awww beautiful beautiful, please whose turn is it to use the umbrella? My legs are as cold as Jupiter unless you guys want me to join that old man there Yusuf: happily I will love to give you a CTR too Chibyke: (frowns) let me warn you now if your mouth or saliva ever comes close to mine I swear to the world I will kill you, then kill myself Yusuf: this man here (touching mr Landon’s cheek) said the same thing too Chibyke: (frowns) Try me (turns to the audience) a little cold can’t kill me, am stronger than a polar bear I can swim and stay in the Northern Atlantic Ocean for years, a little cold on my legs are nothing compared to the days I spent sleeping outside during my boys brigade days, A man can get rusty but not change, my skin is as thick as leather built both for hot and cold weather, I am so….
