Up until I finished writing AC Short Write #1‚ I have never been put into someone else’s shoes. This made me think outside the box and really think into depth about what I was writing about.

MONOLOGUES MISUNDERSTOOD by Albert Jamae BASIL/ALISON They simply don’t understand. I know I make mistakes; doesn’t everyone? But I just can’t seem to get it through to them that I never mean to hurt anyone. I’m not trying to be your parents how you feel about stuff without it sounding bad. But I’m just trying to be honest; which is weird because that’s what they say they want from me‚ but when I give it‚ it’s not okay. Talk about contradiction. MISUNDERSTOOD rude on purpose‚ I just…sometimes

Scuba Duba Monologue Bruce Jay Freeman Now that’s the kind of talk I like. It’s late and you just came right out and said it was late. It’s not that late actually‚ but that’s not what I’m getting at.
