Anda
Where the fuck ARE YOU?
Eve
I don’t know. It’s so dark.
Anda
Of COURSE it’s dark?!
Anda
The Workers have left the Factory.
Eve
Maybe this was a bad idea…
Eve
I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry!
Anda
I don’t care if you’re sorry. I care if you’re SAFE, Eve.
Eve
Anda I don’t know what to do...
Eve
He’s my best friend. He just can’t be gone.
Anda
Stay where you are, ok?
Anda
He might still be alive.
Anda
Just stay where you are.
Anda looked out into the darkness of the street.
She thought of her little sister crouched in the gloom.
The streets of the Dome were not safe at night.
Anda
What’s the last thing you saw before the lights went out?
Eve
I guess I was near the Factory? I could see it in the distance.
Anda
Fuck. Ok. Just don’t move. Not AT ALL.
Anda
Don’t talk. Don’t scream. Don’t even breathe.
Anda
Don’t let them find you.
Eve
Sounds like...crying?
Eve
Anda I think there’s a kid out here with me.
Eve
I just found a little girl!
Anda
You’re only a kid yourself!
Eve
If I don’t stop her crying the Workers will find her, Anda.
Anda
And what happens when they find YOU, Eve?
Eve
They’ll take me to where Cas is.
Anda
Eve. He’s gone. Cas is gone.
Eve
And I can't let my best friend be eaten by those monsters.
Anda
Those monsters are what keep us alive.
Eve
Alive? What LIFE do we have in HERE?
Anda
The Dome saved humanity.
Eve
The Dome IMPRISONED humanity.
Eve
Someone else is here. A Worker.
Eve
The kid. It’s got her.
Eve
She’s crying out for her mum. She’s so scared Anda, it’s horrible!
Anda
Don’t you DARE follow them.
Anda
Eve don’t!!! PLEASE STOP.
Anda looked out into the impenetrable blackness and sobbed.
Every child of the Dome is terrified by stories of the Workers.
No one knows who the Workers are or how they live.
Inside the central Factory they grow food and power the lights.
They never seem to run out of bodies.
There is just an endless supply of Workers for the endless task of fuelling the Dome.
Anda
I will never forgive you for this.
Anda stepped out into the street
Anda
Eve, please respond!!!
Anda
Don’t let them catch you. PLEASE!
Eve
Oh god Anda it ate her!! Right in front of me!
Anda
Where are you, now?!
Eve
I followed them to the Factory.
Eve
But before they got inside it whispered to her.
Eve
So quietly I couldn’t hear.
Eve
And the girl began to scream.
Eve
She said no she wouldn’t.
Eve
It tore at her throat with its teeth.
Anda
I don’t want to know.
Eve
I couldn’t see properly.
Eve
Why wasn’t he at home?
Eve
Why did he let them find him?
Eve
We’re trapped here like rats.
Eve
Like food for those monsters.
Eve
That’s why they keep us alive.
Anda
I’m near the Factory.
Anda
I’ll find you don’t worry.
Eve
It dragged her body inside.
Eve
And I saw him as he walked past.
Anda
Him? What are you talking about?
Eve
The Worker. He was human. Just a man.
Eve
They’re not monsters.
Eve
They’re US. They’re just like us.
She saw the faint outline of her sister a few yards ahead of her.
Eve was shaking with silent tears.
Anda couldn’t let her sister live in a world where humans would do this to each other.
Where humans would rip their own apart...for food.
Eve
I can’t go home. I think I'm having a panic attack. I don't know what to do.
Anda
No, Eve. We're not going home this time.
Anda
We’re leaving. Let's go.
Eve
But where is there to go?
Anda
I don't know. But we can't live in this hellhole anymore.
Anda
We’re escaping from the Dome. For good.
