from NAT BLACK CAME BACK

CHARACTERS
Mobely Oblio is an artist; 20 years old, built like a wild animal with short brown hair the color of light shining through Coca-Cola. Wishing for horns and a tail to sprout out of her body like new tools and decoration, she has a poetic voice, a rhythmic thinking.

Nick Wake is a thinker; 21 years old with a sinewy body, a brown crew cut on top of his head. He has a contemplative voice, searching for the meaning in everyday experiences. He doesn't wish.

Momsy Black is a baker; 41 years old, tall, long reddish brown braided hair. She thinks your world is deter- minded by your desire. She used to make wishes but then she had Nat Black.

Nat Black left all these people....

from NAT BLACK CAME BACK

 

 

nce Nat Black left, Mobely Oblio spent more time alone. She developed quiet habits and meditated often. Mobely's sculptures were extensions of herself, physical manifestations of her dreams.

She had no faith that her dreams were a way to make a living. Picking on the bones of inspirational roadkill was too romantic a vocation to charm the masses. Mobely want ed to find work that would require her to use all of her self. Nat and Nick both wanted to travel.

To Mobely though, traveling was only of mild interest, she believed it didn't matter where you were, it didn't even matter who you were with, it only mattered who you are. It's who you are. It's who you are. "Who are you?" is a feverish question. Mobely wanted to ask this question to Nat and Nick and Momsy and Madie.
