Malcolm's Monologue
Act 1
The sweet smell of coffee wisps pass Lisa's nose. The light chatter, dim lights, and silky smooth voice coming from the radio engulfs her senses. Her aching feet carry her to the coffee machine, needing an immediate pick me up but her actions are halted by the vibrations from her phone. She lifts her coffee stain apron slightly to get a better view of her screen but becomes annoyed by the unknown number.

Her joints are locked and it feels like all the energy has been drained out of her body. She gathers She gathers all hers all of her strength to open up her eyes. She blinks a couple of times to get used to her surroundings but is baffled as to why she's in a hospital. The feels around and touches the cold help button.
Nurse:
Oh my god! She's awake. She's actually awake.
Lisa:
Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here?
The nurse stands frozen, not answering her question but instead runs away screaming for the doctor. She tries to move but the only thing she can pick up are her scrawny pale hands. Her starts pounding like a drummer in a band. She lays her head back and allows her eyes so flutter close. She allows herself to slip into unconsciousness.
Doctor:
Ma’am please wake up. Are you ok?
She opens her blurred eyes to a room full of nurses and doctors, trying to get a look at this medical mystery.
Lisa:
I'm awake.
