Gun girl is standing alone keeping a gun in her right hand and one bullet in her left hand.
Helena- How lonely I feel
Like Desert
My loneliness is getting bitter and bitter
You left me father !
You left me !
I was not able to keep you
You left me mother !
You left me !
I was not able to take care of you
Now I am standing here on my own ....like a prisoner
Oh You relentless weapon !!
Oh You! Forgotten bullet !!!
Oh You ! My dear, my Honest loneliness
The girl arms the gun with the unique bullet, in one of the fifth empty cases.
Helena-
How am I suppose to live ?
Feels like Am not
Me or these ??
My days are black
My nights are bitter
Erinnyes always in front of me.
Always here
I can not stand it anymore
I can not
I feel the cold
(Broken voice) my heart is hurting me
Helena Lifts the gun, Helena marks her head, _she is triggering the trigger.
The first blank
Helena - Oh God...Im so luckless even at last.
Something thunders behind. Helena moves to look
Helena - Who is there?
Oh my God...What is it ? Is it a dream? Is it a fairy? Is it a ghost?? It is like a beautiful woman, like Snow white
Helena - Who are you? Are you here for me? Are you here for my soul?
Ghost - Hello. My name is kindness. I see you. I know you. What are you about to do Helena? Why??
Helena - Please leave me.
Kindness - No way !!
Helena- You should
Kindness -but I know you....I see you.
Helena-. Who send you here?
Kindness - I'm yours Helena. I am your own Kindness.
Helena - Do not try to stop me, I've taken a decision
Elena raises up the gun.
Kindness flies as far as to grab Helena' s hand
Kindness- Don' t you love me ?
Helena - Mother !! ??? Why are you doing this??? That was my Mother' s voice. Stop hurting me !!
Goodness - I'm your own kindness Helena. It is not pain that you feel....Love it is.
Helena - Why? Why are you trying to stop me? Dont' you see it is my fault? I killed them. I couldn' t take care of them.
Kindness - Listen to me. Stop thinking like that. You have too much to give
Helena - I don' t want to be saved
Kindness- But don ' t you understand?? If you act like that, you' ll be lost.
Helena - Please see me not...I am in pain. Leave me. Please. Go away .
Helena raises up again the gun, Helena marks her head , put her hand to scandal and .....Chuck, second bullet blank
Helena - Second time to none, three more opportunities for me to reach the Kingdom of Deads....but...why? How unfortunate I am ....oh my God!! how unlucky!!!
Even now....at the end of my life, even now on this last hour, how misfortune I seem to be. Neither Life wants me nor Death.
Helena remembers Kindness. Helena turns to see Kindness but Kindness is not there.
Helena - She left me too, no one loves me. My presence is insuffarable. My bad fortune is like a snake tightens everyone, choke them like a viper
Elena hears sounds again
Helena: Sounds again. But what's going on in my house? !! Who is there?
A woman like a fairy comes out of curtains.
Helena - Who is there again? I don' t understand how do you walk in and out of the walls so easily? !!!
Ghost 2: We're ghosts. The ghosts do not have a body...you silly girl..!!
Helena :OK OK , Now please tell me who are you and what do you want from me ? Did you come to stop me too ? Put it in your mind. This is never going to happen.
Ghost 2 : Well, we see about that. May I ask you something ? The mad is gonne ?
Helena - What do you mean? Who is the mad?
Ghost 2 - That ...kindness thing... This mad thing every time, but every time it is my turn to visit someone she goes there first , that ugly witch is so fast! I want half an hour just to dry my hairs with the hair dryer.
Helena - But who are you ?
Ghost 2 : Who am I and who am I ...!! Everybody is wondering. Dont you see my label?!! don' t you know how to read? View what is written down here ...
Helena: L A V E. what is that? Informal state life insurance ?
Ghost 2 : Are you stupid? Love it is the writting.
Helena: But love is with an O
Love: Yes now we are stuck to how is O. What does it matter? I am LOVE
Helena: Did you write it? Haven' t you attended school? How did you learn to write?
Love: Shoot your curiosity please ! I came to prevent you from committing suicide and now I'm about to kill myself!! I see !! I see !! Does that kindness mad thing turns you against me? If I see her anywhere, I shoot her image !! You see she thinks she's better than me. But you know something? she is a low class.
Suddenly another ghost, another woman pops up like a cat.
Ghost 3 - so here you are !! Are you crashing with people again ? Get out of here and keep the blame for your views.
Love - I do I not, I ...
Ghost 3 _ Who knows what fantasies you set up again !!! Do you blame your sister again ??
Love - No, Mom,no
Ghost 3 : Go home quickly to lay your bed, before I make you green. Go now
Love - Okay, okay
Love disappears.
Ghost 3_ oh my God these girls..!! Not only they do not listen to me, they are between a quarrel all the time.
Helena: Are you their mom?
Ghost 3 : Yes
Helena : What is your name ?
Ghost 3 : Call me Future. You are a teacher....right ?
Helena: Yeah, how do you know?
Future: I saw your ad in the newspaper.
Helena: The ad? Do you mean the advertisement?
Future- yes The ad you are looking for a job as a teacher.
Helena: But since this ad goes a long time. No one cares.
Future: You are wrong. At this moment we are talking, a young man is down at your front door looking at the written name next to the bell.
Helena: Ha, ha ....its funny
Future: I don' t know whether he is funny or not but he seems like a student.
Helena: Someone reads the ad I put two years ago. That seems like a miracle.
The bell.....
Future: here it is.
Helena: I don' t believe it, I'm going to look out of the balcony.
Helena : oh no, oh my God, it is real, there is a young man, he holds a school bag on his shoulder. But how did you know ?
Future: Me? I love you too girl. You are a good girl. Now I leave you my sweety. I let you do your job, I have many kids to take care of. Oh, and please give me this.
Helena gives Future the gun
Helena: I am Sorry
Future takes the gun
Future: I think that this belongs to me
