… and I found this… pod in my hand.  
It felt smooth. Tiny. Precious.  
I knew that the little pod was the only and last thing I would ever hold from her.  
She had left.  
I opened carefully the pod with my fingernail.  
And I found a miniature foetus inside.  
The only and last thing I would ever hold from her.  

RADIO HOST   
Hello?  

YOUNG GIRL 
Hello? I’ve just finished listening. You made me so sad.  

RADIO HOST 
The night is always sad.  

YOUNG GIRL 
Do you recognise me?  

RADIO HOST 
Yes. My most passionate listener.  

YOUNG GIRL 
Have you received my letter?  

RADIO HOST 
Yes.  

YOUNG GIRL 
Are you angry?  

RADIO HOST 
Should I be?  

YOUNG GIRL 
Have you read it?  

RADIO HOST 
Yes. I have read it. And it was very sweet. And I thank you for the things that you have written. You are a very mature girl for your age. But you should spend more time with people your own age.  

YOUNG GIRL 
My friends are not interested in the things that interest me. They only think about showing off with boys and stuff.  

RADIO HOST 
You don’t like boys?  

YOUNG GIRL 
The boys I know are all boring. Superficial. Empty. I wouldn’t know what to talk about with them.  

RADIO HOST 
What do you want to talk about?  

YOUNG GIRL 
Everything. Life, death, philosophy, ideas of what life could be like, revolution, feeling different from everybody else. I don’t know, everything.  

RADIO HOST 
OK. Tell me.  

YOUNG GIRL 
I told you everything in the letter. When I listen to your program… I don’t know. It’s like you always know how I feel. I lay here in bed, in the dark, and you bring this world into my room. And everything makes sense. And the stories you tell, they make me think.  

RADIO HOST 
That’s very sweet. Thank you. But you know that at your age, things can appear different from what they are in reality.  

YOUNG GIRL 
I don’t think that the age is a problem. I think that you are as old as you feel. Sometimes I feel very old. Especially at night. I love listening to your program. It’s like you open a secret door that no one else knows.  

RADIO HOST 
Shouldn’t you be already sleeping? Don’t you have to go to school tomorrow morning?  

YOUNG GIRL 
You still haven’t answered to what I wrote in the letter. Have you read it?  

RADIO HOST   
Yes, I told you that I’ve read it. You have a vivid imagination.  

YOUNG GIRL  
And what do you say?  

RADIO HOST  
I don’t think it would be a good idea.  

YOUNG GIRL 
But why? It wouldn’t cost you anything…  

RADIO HOST 
I think you have a bit of a crush on me. Can it be?  

YOUNG GIRL 
Maybe. Would that be bad?  

RADIO HOST   
No. That wouldn’t be bad at all. But meeting in person wouldn’t be a good idea. Trust me.  

YOUNG GIRL 
Are you scared?  

RADIO HOST 
Terribly. You know, there is a name for men my age that meet with girls your age. And it’s not a good name.  

YOUNG GIRL 
But I just want to meet you and see you… We can be friends. You always say that it is possible to be friends, just friends…  

RADIO HOST 
I told you already. You wouldn’t like what you see. I am ugly. That’s why I do radio. So no one can see me.  

YOUNG GIRL 
That’s offensive. Do you really think I care the way people look? I know your soul. And that’s beautiful.  

RADIO HOST 
I need to go now. Good night. Sweet dreams.  

YOUNG GIRL 
WAIT! Please… can I write again?  

RADIO HOST 
I don’t think it’d be a good idea. Good night little princess.
