  Is the blockage sorted?

  Plumber

  I’ve done what I can for now but it’s not finished. I’ll see you in an hour or so.

  Polly

  Oh, okay then.

  Plumber

  I may come back with a policeman, is he in up there?

  Polly

  I think so. Is it serious then?

  Plumber

  I’ll let you know in a bit, okay love; try not to worry. I’ll get it sorted..

  Polly

  Fine. Thanks.

  SCENE 25 INT DAY

  (Simons flat)

  Narration

  So that was it. I am really quite normal, just a shy man with some close friends, keeping my own business; A beautiful period in my life was coming to an end. I was only trying to get by because Loneliness can be so frightening.

  Sometimes when I think about all the wonderful things that have happened recently I don’t feel so frightened.

  It’s like this maggot, this small maggot that is crawling around down here on the floor with me. He and I have so much in common, we both have the gift of making friends. Close friends; friends who will stick by us. Through thick and thin.

  I can hear people knocking on my door, trying to get in. Perhaps they know about my gift; perhaps it is drawing them to me. You see, I don’t even have to move, I don’t have to make any effort at all. I don’t even have to flick my eye lash; like this little worm crawling at my side.

  Because I have the gift…

  The End….
