about

One reason to help raise money for Locker's for people experiencing homelessness is to help those who are stuck out in the cold. February 2019 was one of the coldest Februaries for Bellingham, and so we hope this piece brings a little warmth to you.

lyrics

We open with the sound of wind blowing across a barren tundra. It sounds cold and empty. There are some slow, scraping steps, as a HUMAN shuffles across the ice, searching for his/her friends.

The steps pause for a moment as HUMAN becomes quiet. There should be a healthy, correct pause.

HUMAN: Cameron?

Pause.

HUMAN: Cameron, where are you?

Pause.

HUMAN: I can’t be alone anymore. No more. I just can’t…

Pause.

HUMAN: Cameron?

Pause.

HUMAN: Please come back! We’ve had such good times together…
Wind.

HUMAN: I-I don’t think I could have survived two minutes out here if you hadn’t been with me.

Pause.

HUMAN: Remember how we just sat together and watched as the ship just vanished into the ocean? All those
people that couldn’t make it out…
Wind.

HUMAN: But we’re still here!

Breeze.

HUMAN: Right, Cameron?

Pause.

HUMAN: Cameron?

Extra-long pause. Contemplation. Wind.

HUMAN wailing: CAMERON!

Sobs.

HUMAN quiet: I still have dreams for us, you know. We’re gonna start a family! Us and—and Genevieve! One big,
happy family…

Long pause.

HUMAN: Remember… Remember how cold we were until you finally let me get close.

Sniffle.

HUMAN renewed wailing effort: CAMERON!!!

Big sniff.

HUMAN sadly: You know I can’t catch fish on my own! What will I eat?

Long windy pause.

HUMAN quiet, sad, resigned: Look, I’m sorry I brought up trying to get back to civilization. It was unfair of me to
assume your priorities, but I know now…I know better…

Wind.

HUMAN again, wailing, but sadder and with less hope: Cameron! Why didn’t you wake me up before you left?

Pause.

HUMAN quietly: Cameron, please.

Pause.

HUMAN with growing volume and intensity: Genevieve? Anyone? Please.

HUMAN absolutely breaks down, sobbing uncontrollably. There is lots of wind.

When the sobbing finally cools down a bit, there is a quack (or whatever sound penguins make; I’m not sure. Quack
is just appropriately succinct, so it’s what I’ll use). There is a silent, hopeful pause before there is another quack.

HUMAN: Cameron?

Quack.

HUMAN: Cameron!

Quack.

HUMAN joyously, apologetically, overflowing: Cameron, I’m so sorry for what I said. Can you ever forgive me?

Quack.

HUMAN: Genevieve?

Quack.

HUMAN: Mitchell! Look everyone, I’m sorry I thought about going back, I’m sorry. This is my home now. You guys
are my family.

Slight pause before quack.

HUMAN: And Cameron? Thanks for coming back.
There is the sound of shuffling as the penguins begin to walk away. Possibly a quack.

HUMAN: Hey, wait up! This family’s never getting broken up again!
