This monologue digs deeply into the feelings of the protagonist who is talking at an AA meeting, reminiscing about his recently deceased father and the dad's magic trick that the son could never figure out. Elements of humour at the end lighten this piece and will leave you feeling hopeful.

Here are the comments from our panel of screenwriter professionals about this script.
Set in an AA meeting room, this monologue packs a moving emotional punch into little more than a page. After the death of the ‘sonuvabitch’ father he despised, a 30-year-old, former alcoholic (written as male, but would suit a female actor just as well) explains his history with the man who forced him to seek refuge in drug-addled escapes.
