Zelda's Inferno Poems
by Mike Monroe
Exercise:

Write a dramatic monologue about a character from a picture.
My choice:
A man with no skin taken from a horror movie still
The Man With no Skin

A Dramatic Monologue

everything hurts me a little more
and I'm always bleeding
I have a hell of a time getting a date on a Saturday night
I can't even touch some one without smearing blood on them
I leave red footprints everywhere I go
people always call the hospital on me
and ask me if I'm okay
their faces contorted with horror
I'm sick of pity
it hurts me more than any wound I've suffered
I just want people to see the real me
I'm a pretty tough guy
I mean
could you walk around and act as if everything was fine if you had no skin?
