Cast:

Rose- Jessie Owens

Councillor- Jon West

Rose and the councillor are sitting face to face in a small room. It is set out like a counselling room with a table and chairs, with paper, flowers, tissues and water.

Rose: I’m scared to leave the house.

Councillor: How are you feeling?

Rose: I just want everything to be normal again.

Councillor: Your bruises seem to be healing well.

Rose: I can’t escape it.

Councillor: Was this the only time?

Rose: (pause) I see him everywhere I go.

BLACKOUT

Councillor: Why don’t you take me back to the moment it happened?

Rose: (nods slowly)

Councillor: You said you felt like he was controlling you again. That he wasn’t letting you go?

(Brief flashback to attack, then returns backs to room. Rose is breathing heavily)

Councillor: Tell me everything.

(Flashbacks occur, vivid memory of the attack)

Stalker: Shh…don’t speak.

Flashbacks end and it returns back to the counselling room

Councillor: (comforting) Shh, its okay. I think that’s enough for today. See you next week.

Rose forces a smile, gathers her things and walks out of the room.

She walks outside and the stalker is standing opposite her, holding on the other side of the road.
