New Thriller Monologue: Where's Your Hand, Chloe?
Let’s be honest - the woods at night can be creepy for even the bravest of us. It’s not quite so bad though if we have someone by our side. But what if that someone suddenly…disappears? And leaves us alone, calling their name, only to find…someone else appear instead?
That is the premise behind my new thriller/dramatic/horror monologue, Where’s Your Hand, Chloe? Addison’s friend, Chloe, disappears on their walk home in the woods (NEVER TAKE THE SHORTCUT THROUGH THE WOODS!). At first, Addison is relieved when she thinks the person in the distance is her friend. But she soon discovers the bloodied soul that is getting closer and closer to Addison is not at all Chloe. Addison’s panic increases as she sees the grotesque Being holds Chloe’s braid wrapped around its shoulder.

Chloe. Chloe?...Where did you…
(hears a noise and turns quickly)
Oh, thank God you’re here, Chloe. I looked at my phone for, like, a second and then I didn’t know where you were and it’s so dark out here and does your phone have reception ‘cause mine just lost it?
(Silence.)
Chloe? Why are you so far away? I wanna hold your hand while we walk because I do not like these woods. Okay, let’s never cut across this way at night again. Why are you behind that tree? You’re being so weird.
(pause)
Come over here. Chloe?
(Holds her phone out as a light to see better. It is not Chloe behind the tree. ADDISON is stunned)
You’re…not…
(pause)
Oh my God you’re not Chloe. Chloe? Who are…END OF EXCERPT.
