Hemingway's Death

Characters: Narrator (always speaks in a monotonous, omnipresent voice)
Hemingway and Person B (both speak all lines in a robotic Stephen Hawkinesque monotonous voice. they are acting out what the narrator is saying)

Narrator: Hemingway stares at the wall. A knife is held in his hand. He raises the knife and says

Hemingway: I have no reason to live.

Narrator: He further raises the knife. The tip touches the bottom of his ear. The door opens. Person B (pick a name...woman) enters.

Hemingway: Goodbye

Narrator: He says.

Person B: Ernest, no

Narrator: she says. She moves too him and grabs his face. She moves his head to her face. Crimson touches tears. Do Men usually kill themselves?
