What's that?<br>

<br>
THOMAS<br>
A work in progress.<br>
<br>
<br>
(Alvin takes the pages and reads.)<br>
<br>
<br>
ALVIN<br>
"Every Christmas Eve we’d make angels in the snow, just like every other kid has done.<br>
We’d stretch out our arms and legs. Then we’d wave them to and fro, in a halo of the<br>
late December sun."<br>
<br>
<br>
"AND ONCE A YEAR WE BELIEVED<br>
THERE WAS MAGIC ALIVE IN THE AIR<br>
FOR THE ANGELS WE MADE LYING THERE."<br>
<br>
<br>
Hm. I like this.<br>
<br>
<br>
"PROUDLY WE’D CREATE<br>
OUR TWO ANGELS IN THE SNOW<br>
WITH REVERENTIAL ROBES AND PERFECT WINGS.<br>
WE’D SPEND HOURS IN THE YARD<br>
ALL THOSE CHRISTMASES AGO<br>
AND WHEN AT LAST THEY WERE COMPLETE<br>
WE FELT LIKE KINGS.<br>
<br>
<br>
THEN AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED..."<br>
<br>
<br>
(Alvin realizes that this is all Thomas has written.)<br>
<br>
<br>
This is it, Tom?<br>
<br>
<br>
(Thomas takes the pages from Alvin and searches for words to complete the sentence.)<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
THEN AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED...<br>
AND WITH SNOW DOWN THE BACK OF OUR PANTS<br>
WE WOULD WAIT FOR OUR ANGELS TO DANCE.<br>
<br>
<br>
(Thomas tosses the pages into the air creating a blizzard of papers.<br>
The blizzard becomes a gentle snowfall.)<br>
<br>
<br>
THE ICY WIND WOULD WHIP THE SNOW FROM THE GROUND<br>
<br>
<br>
ALVIN<br>
AND THE TREES WOULD MOAN A SWEET CELESTIAL SOUND.<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
THEN THE ANGEL SOULS WERE WIDE AWAKE<br>
<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
AND ALIVE ON EVERY SINGLE FLAKE.<br>
<br>
<br>
THEY WHIRLED ALL AROUND US<br>
AS WE STOOD LIKE STONE.<br>
THOUSANDS OF ANGELS WITH LIVES OF THEIR OWN.<br>
<br>
<br>
EACH ONE WITH A SEPARATE STORY<br>
JOINING IN ONE BURST OF GLORY.<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
BUT THEN THE SNOWFLAKES SCATTERED AND THEY FLEW<br>
AND OUR ANGELS DID TOO.<br>
<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE<br>
WE’D MAKE ANGELS IN THE SNOW<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
AND EVERY YEAR WE’D WATCH THEM DISAPPEAR.<br>
<br>
<br>
ALVIN<br>
THEY’D DISAPPEAR.<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
BUT I KNOW THAT THEY’LL RETURN<br>
AND THOUGH THE YEARS MAY COME AND GO<br>
WHEN I NEED TO HAVE THEM WITH ME THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>
<br>
<br>
(Alvin looks Thomas in the eye with reassurance.)<br>
<br>
<br>
ALVIN<br>
THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>
<br>
<br>
ALVIN<br>
THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>
<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
SWIRLING ROUND AND AROUND<br>
IN A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS EVE GLOW.<br>
THE WAY THEY DID THEN<br>
BACK WHEN WE WERE JUST TEN<br>
ALL OUR ANGELS AGAIN<br>
IN THE SNOW.<br>
<br>
<br>
(Thomas and Alvin embrace one final time and Alvin vanishes.<br>
Thomas finds himself once again in the funeral chapel.<br>
He goes to the podium, closes his notebook and speaks.)<br>
<br>
<br>
THOMAS<br>
We are gathered to honor the life of Alvin Kelby. He was my best friend.<br>
<br>
<br>
Let me tell you a story about Alvin...<br>
<br>
