The End of the Affair
Everyone’s replaceable. Aren’t they?
It’s true, breaking up is hard to do.
Sometimes, it feels like the end of everything. As if your beloved were the only thing keeping the entire world safe.
And then there’s the inescapable guilt. Was I to blame? Or were they?
In Tim Westland’s micro-short End of the Affair, an old woman runs after a much younger man down 5th Avenue in NYC - accusing him of betraying his promise to “always be there”.
Deep down, the man knows he IS at fault. When pushed for answers, he admits he wasn’t what she was looking for. What humanity was looking for, either.
Because he’s not just breaking up with a person. He’s breaking up with a planet, too.
Who is he? He’s Mr. Readthescripttofindout!
‘Cause this twist’s out of this world!
