REFLECTION OF AN ENDING LOVE
Catarina Novais
With bloody fingers, listening to her daughters talk, she sits in the sand and peels the orange. In one long piece, like a snake.
She smiles in the golden light, making his heart skip a beat. This is the image from his visions. The dream girl.
A single tear streaks down his cheek as his face disintegrates.
He takes up the now complete paper rose from his bedside table and looks at it from every side.
Roebuck Wright says finally:
“I TOLD YOU SO.”
there’s an awkward silence.
There is rubble everywhere. Ash falls from the sky. Everything is devastation.
She breaks away and climbs into the car.
We see:
She lets him help her to her feet.
But Mirabel looks at her reflection in her doorknob... and smiles.
The look of a woman who has done the unthinkable.
The LIGHTS go out.
And finally...
It’s not just her reflection in the mirror.
He finally sees her as her own person.
Slowly they become indistinguishable dots in the snow.
He gazes at her a moment, full of regret.
He smiles. Maybe she does too
They rise higher and higher, more and more, until the sky turns black.
Seen from a side view, her finger touches the glass just before his finger joins hers.
It’s quiet
The tunnel forms an iris of darkness that slowly closes in, bringing us into black.
Very slowly, Fade to black.
