Ghost of George

Scene: in a senior care home, Emma’s bedroom. Tea and scones on the bedside table.

Cindy: How are you doing today?

Emma: still here, unfortunately. Everything is awful. What do you want?

Cindy: Oh Granny. You don’t mean that. You haven’t had any of your tea. Try a scone.

Emma: I don’t want any of that. I want to see George. Is he coming today?

Cindy: He died 5 years ago. Remember?

George’s ghost appears behind Cindy.

George: I’m here, Emma my love.

Emma: oh George. My dearest. How I miss you so.

Cindy looks behind her. Just an empty chair as she can’t see George’s ghost.

Attendant enters to check on Emma.

Attendant: She’s so much more tender and sweet when George is here.

Cindy: but he’s dead!

Attendant: Not to her. Another scone, Emma?

Emma: oh yes please. These are George’s favorite. Blueberry lemon. What a wonderful world it is today.

George’s ghost nibbles on a scone and smiles. He blows a kiss at Emma.
