The Dome - Part 3
by Charlotte Zaidi
Stop
Eve?
Fuck, Eve. Is it really you?
Stop. Following.
Following? I don’t know where you are
I thought the Skynner’s had killed you
Eve –
I thought I’d lost you
She is gone.
Stop following us
You’re not my sister …
Who are you?
We don’t want to hurt you
Are you the ones who took her?
We don’t want to hurt you
Hurt me?
You don’t want to HURT ME?
You fucking MURDERED my LITTLE SISTER
She was already dying
And you ate her skin
Eve was wrong. You’re not human, you’re monsters.
We do not eat skin. Who told you this?
Everyone in The Dome knows what you do
We help people
People survive because of us
No
You’re not the first to escape
The Wasteland is hard – many die
Because you kill them!
Because of the sun
People live because we give them suits
Suits? Like protective clothes?
There are no plants or animals out here
No. There are the dead and dying
Oh god
The skin
The skin I saw rotting in the sun
That is how we dry our suits
It’s DISGUSTING
It is life for many people
You KILLED my sister!
We ended her suffering so others can live
How can you do this?
I don’t understand
There is a lot you don’t understand
Wait
You said that Domers survive out here
They do
Does that mean some have found The Collective?
The Collective is quite near
Where?
Where is it?
It would be better if you didn’t go
Tell me. Now.
The Collective is not what you think
You took my sister from me
You can’t take away my future
There is no future at The Collective
So, what?
Stay here? Wait until I’m weak enough for you to skin me? Sell me?
You should go back home
I will never return to The Dome
There is nothing for you at The Collective
Nothing?
Nothing?!
There’s sunlight. Freedom. Real food.
No factory. No WORKERS.
Yes. But not for you.
You can’t scare me
We are trying to warn you
You’re trying to trap me
Listen to us
Listen to the people that butchered Eve?
We don’t have much time
The Patrollrs are coming
Patrollrs??
They guard the boarder of The Collective
From YOU
From everyone
There’s something in the distance
That’s them isn’t it??
Stop! Stop waving! They will see you!
That’s what I WANT
You don’t know what you’re doing!
I’m doing what Eve would have wanted
God help you
We tried to warn you
Now you’re on your own
Anda looks up and sees a group of men advancing.
The Patrollrs shout at her to stand where she is.
But she can’t help herself...
She rushes forward to meet them.
And then everything is black.
