If Leeches Ate Peaches - one-shot radio drama/podcast
Leara Nicole Morris-Clark for Veronica
Veronica is another patient in the hospital; a girl in her late teens who befriends Annabelle shortly upon arrival. She is soon to be undergoing ECT for reasons she doesn't understand. She's understandably terrified, and scared of losing parts of herself or her memory she won't even remember she lost. A lot of her is filled with rage, and she finds it difficult to express it healthily sometimes. As such, she has moments where she really explodes without quite knowing why.
Voice notes:
Pitch - medium , perhaps a little raspy
Accent - any
(stuttering, awkward, words tumbling out) You’re Annabelle Lee! I know your music - from before! Hard to forget, really. I'm - I'm Veronica...by the way...
(upset, angry, like word vomit) I don’t want to forget. Doctor keeps sayin' they’re gonna take me to electro— electro— To ECT… I’m really, really scared. Because nothing happened to put me here. I just… got sad. And I used to be really happy. All it took was for him to say I was broken and I was. Pretty Victorian, eh? But I want you to write everything. I want you to write everything that happens and make it a song and make me remember if I can’t, ‘cause everyone knows— EVERYONE KNOWS— that you can’t erase crayon.
(humming something, sounding a little distant and dreamlike)
