The Ferry Bell
by Mara Vale

SCENE ONE: THE PIER

(Fog. A small bell rings somewhere offstage.)

ELI
You heard it too?

SANA
I heard something pretending to be a bell.

ELI
Bells do that?

SANA
At piers, yes.

FERRYMAN
Last crossing.

ELI
We have no tickets.

FERRYMAN
The river does not check pockets.

SANA
That is not comforting.

FERRYMAN
It was not intended to be.
