Hazard Yet Forward: A Meeting of Past and Future Selves

 The dormroom of Seton Hill University senior Lindsey Andrews. Tomorrow she graduates.  She is seated on her bed with a scrapbook, flipping reminiscently through its pages.

 Voice: We sure have changed, huh?

 One of the scrapbook photos looks up at Lindsey and waves. Lindsey watches the image of herself leap from the photo and off the page.

Retro-Lindsey, dusts herself off: You didn't forget about me, did ya?

 Lindsey: I must be having some type of anxiety induced hallucination. I read about this happening to people.

 Retro-Lindsey, laughs: Maybe. I'm just here to remind you.

 Lindsey: Of?

 Retro-Lindsey, points to the scrapbook: Oh, look! Do you remember English Club?

 Lindsey: Is that Grace and Jeff? Wow. I was so shy at the first meeting.  The group dynamic was great, though.  Because of the encouragement and acceptance I found among those people, I grew confident about voicing my opinions.

 Retro-Lindsey: And look here at this newspaper clipping that recognizes our o-u-t-s-t-a-n-d-i-n-g achievements!

 Lindsey: Yes. I was--am--very proud of my accomplishments.  My classes and teachers have given me so much more than I started with.

 Retro-Lindsey: So, why then are you sulking on this bed looking back at me?

 Lindsey: Well I'm ...  nervous I suppose about where I go from here after tomorrow's graduation.

 Retro-Lindsey: Follow me. I want you to see something.

 The two Lindseys cross to the other side of the room and stand before a framed mirror.

 Retro-Lindsey: When we came to Seton Hill we were scared, just like you are now, but look at yourself.  Tomorrow, you'll step onto that stage and off into a future you've worked hard for. And guess what? You're ready for it.

 Lindsey recognizes herself and smiles. Retro-Lindsey disappears.

End.
