Ohio Impromptu

In a dimly lit room, two men sit at a table, reading from the same book. One man, the Reader, recites a melancholic tale of loneliness and the death of a loved one, while the other, the Listener, reacts with subtle gestures. A third figure, the Angel, stands silent, observing their ritualistic performance. The narrative unfolds with a sense of profound isolation and the inescapable presence of mortality.
