The Ending of February
Eike Peace for Kenneth Obermen
Kenneth is a very energetic man. His voice can be either middle aged, or young adult. He is rather optimistic about everything, but at times, reality just hits him in the face like a brick.
Hello to everyone tuning in this morning! Today is a rather special day for us in Waterfort, and everyone else in America. Its Groundhog's day! Haha. [Pause, as if flipping through papers] Before we get to that, this morning we have a high of thirty five, and a forty seven this evening. Much better than last week I must say. The rest of the week is suppose to get even higher. I think its time to drop the coats and get out our bathing suites! [He chuckled for a while at his own joke, but soon realizes that he has to continue] In twenty minutes, the mayor should be bringing out old Henry! How many years is he now? Five? My, is he getting old.
[A sort of defeated voice]
How much longer? [pause] Im pretty sure im the only one left here. We're out of water, so i'll have to rely on the snow. Thanks a lot /Waterfort/. [longer pause] Jesus Christ, who am I even talking to? Im pretty sure no one is even listening. Yet I still talk.
[softly, as if hes rubbing his hand over his face] Shit...
