Description:

#Audio. #Monologue Use an idiom or cliche as a literal impetus for a play.

Excerpt:

I look in the mirror and I see myself reflected back, and if I look more closely, look into my own eyes, I see my own reflected reflection. I search for purpose and find only algae and plankton, as if I live only to keep my section of the ocean free of tiny things.
