ACT 1, SCENE 1--Outside, At Home

(As the clouds dissipate and the curtains of heaven assuredly divide, the ANGELS begin singing the loveliest of all love notes.)

Enter CHILD 1 & 2, PARENT 1 & 2

CHILD 1

The sun came back! I didn't think it would come back forever!

[CHILD 1, CHILD 2, PARENT 1, and PARENT 2, the FAMILY, stares blankly at the sky, not sure what to think. Quickly, without judgement, they begin smiling, laughing, twirling, running, raking. Basking.]

PARENT 2

[Looking around.] Life is good again.

PARENT 1

[Heavy, satisfactory sigh. Smile.]

CHILD 2

[Joyfully shrieking.]

CURTAIN.
