He was a teenage super soldier.
There were certain questions that fourteen year old Neel Dervin had never thought to ask himself.
Like how much pain he could endure before passing out. Or how many times he could be shot and still keep running. Or how often he could lie to his friends and family without feeling remorse.
But then that one fateful day changed his life forever, and set him on a path towards immeasurable power as well as inconceivable terror.
Now the only people who can help him deal with the situation are complete strangers who are using him for their own ends. Trapped in circumstances beyond his control with abilities he barely understands, he must navigate a treacherous path mired in betrayals and difficult choices to take back control of his life.
This is a monologue I wrote about suicide and depression for my Drama assessment last year. I first tried to find a monologue on the internet to do but I didn't like any of them and they weren't long enough so I started puting bits and pieces of different monologues together and showed my teacher. She thought it was too dark for school so I changed it to be more upbeat and with hope and here it is.
