Penny’s Story Act 1 scene 3.1
Curtain rises to a hospital room, a middle-aged Priest kneels beside bed of young girl,
the room begins to dim as the light from the window fades

What sinner dost prevail,
That drives life away so frail,
Who knowingly done would so coldly do,
None can understand,
Why such evil is in man;
Yet blessing is done and forgiveness too.

the room has dimmed till the only light is from hospital equipment and a small lamp

Praying twilight tears,
Touched each time through the years,
Seeing more often dulls no tragedy
This soul need keeping,
Save the life slowly seeping,
And duties had other places to be,
With candles to light,
And preparations of night,
Tending to the pains of reality.

Enter stage right, Quickly though doorway, Tall Shadowy man

Shepard tend you sheep
This lambs safety I will keep,
Through the night
To morn’s light,
Her spirit will stay
Till next coming of the day;

Exit Priest stage right, reluctantly through doorway
the other turns out the lamp and sits in a chair enveloped my shadows
