"The Anniversary" by Chelsea Tufarolo When play begins: say "When I imagined Josh and I’s anniversary together I had pictured it much differently. If I had had it my way, it wouldn’t have been spent on a dusty floor. We slept in what had once been the gymnasium, now it is just another piece of the skeleton the was once the beloved Spring Elementary School. The school had been abandoned in the nineties after the staff relocated to a newer location downtown. The building is old, and although I haven't been here in years, everything is still familiar to me. I went to school here before it was shut down and it was here in this gym that Josh and I met for the first time. When Josh heard about the demolition plans, he insisted we spend one last night here, like we used to do as teenagers. Although I was, and still am, not in favor of the idea, I still decided to come along. Our plan was to spend the night and then wake up early and sneak out before the construction workers arrived. But when I woke up this morning he was gone." The Gym is a room. "[if the Gym is unvisited]As you lay there the waxed floor is cool against your back. Looking up at the ceiling you notice the cobwebs covering the exposed support beams and the steel metal cages that once served to protect the light fixtures from flyaway dodge balls. This is where it all began. All evidence from last night is missing. Your purse, as well as your husband, are no where to be found.
