Nina Rapi, Angelstate
ANOREXIC: It’s not guilt. I learnt guilt before I even learned to speak. Guilt is part of what I’m made of, something I can handle. So. It’s not guilt. It’s not fear either. So. It’s not fear either. (Pause.) It’s doubt. That’s what’s killing me.
BODYGUARD: She wanted to break the ice, she said, the ice that kept me trapped, the ice that kept me from feeling all the love she could give me, all the. Fuck. I can’t deal with this shit.
BODYBUILDER: I didn’t punish him though, not the way he used to punish me. That would be taking advantage of a sick, old man. I couldn’t do that.
PRIEST: Aris is calmly waiting for me to stop breathing…. It’s like fighting a useless battle. Yet something inside you, survival instinct I suppose, urges you on. Urges you on to fight. And you fight. And I fought. I fought to start breathing again, to come back to this reality. And I did, I came back…Without him…
DOMINATRIX: His games became more and more dangerous. He pushed things, he pushed me to the edge. That’s when he felt most alive. ‘This is real’, he’d tell me, ‘everything else is a delusion’.
MERCENARY: I’d been in some deep shit in my life, but I’d never felt scared. Not until then. (Pause.) There was something about that boy’s face that freaked me out. “I’ve got to finish this job”, I told myself, “I’ve got to finish it!”
Blackout.
