Archer Morales Monologue

1213 Words5 Pages

The day I found out that Archer Morales killed himself, I didn’t know what to think.

I stared up at Mrs.Anderson, the slightly batty and graying-haired german teacher, with a blank look on my face, not really believing what I just heard. Mrs.Anderson sighed heavily as she took off her glasses and polished them on the front of her polyester suit. “Archer Morales committed suicide yesterday evening.” She continues. I swallowed hard as I slouched backwards in my seat, feeling the colour draining from my face. The more I thought about what she said, the more I realized that it sort of made sense.

Well rather annoyed, but still alive. “This has got to be some horrible nightmare that I’m having,’’ I say as I stand up and start pacing. “And you are obviously still dead and I’ll just be back in my bedroom, ready to start another boring day at our idiotic school.” “Gosh, you're weird,” he muttered, rolling his eyes. “I’m weird? You're the one who's dead.” I said in a cheeky tone. “I think I am very much alive. What are you even doing here?” He replied. This is when I noticed my surrounding, I was in a small chinese restaurant. “Ok would you stop looking around like a idiot, I have to close it up. So get out” Archer

    Is that why you’re here!” He thrashed wildly in the darkness, the bed groaning under him and the sheets hissing as he fought against them. But he was not going to be able to get to me, because his matchless coordination was gone. He could not even get up from the bed. “I want to fix your leg up,” I said crazily but in a perfectly natural tone of voice which made my words sound even crazier, even to me.

The author developed the character by displaying his cynicism and mocking nature in a dangerous situation.
