FAUST

Male | Unspecified | under 3 minutes
Starts on page 16

EXTRACT: Gone... Mephistopheles! Mephistopheles! (PAUSE) God, it's quiet in here. Maybe I should enjoy it while I have the chance; it may never happen again. 600 years, and it never once occurred to me to plan for this. Even for leaving this cell: it'll be like being born. Want to escape... Maybe he was right. Maybe if I'd wanted hard enough, I would have planned for this moment. I would have believed. Now? Fore God's my witness, I'm terrified. Well, no mortal ever had the same home for six hundred years, did he? Freedom.
