The Sea

A man and a woman stand in front of a burning house. Their small child is with them. From the house we can hear a telephone ringing as it melts (this continues to the end).

Woman- Dear John, it would appear that we are now homeless.

Man- Yes dear. Very much so.

There is the sound of an explosion from offstage; what it is that is exploding, or has exploded, is unclear. The sound of the sea can now be heard as it draws nearer.
