Act One: Heroes And Cons
"Mum, can I turn on the radio?" Gloria said. "But of course, honey." Mum said. Gloria searched for a non-static radio station, and a song came along. Slowly she sang along. "Turn off the radio, I hate that song!" "But mum, it's the Song of the Century, the anthem!" "America is fucked up, darling. So don't bother listening to it."
"Born into Nixon I was raised in hell…" Gloria sang. She was 21 now. She sat in class, they called themselves the Class Of '13. And made a little anthem for themselves:
"We are the class of the class of '13
Born in the era of humility
We are the desperate in the decline
Raised by the bastards of 1969"
They sang that before a competition against another class. Gloria sat alone, but she had friends. But today was different. There was a boy, sitting in the chair next to her. "Ehm, hi." Gloria said, sitting down. "You're new?" The boy nodded. "What's your name?" she asked. "My name is no one, the long lost son, born on the fourth of July, raised in the era of heroes and cons, that left me for dead or alive… But you can call me Christian. What about you?" "Oh, I'm a nation, a worker of pride, my debt to the status quo, the scars on my hands and that leads to an end, it's all that I have to show… I'm Gloria." "Nice to meet you."Christian answered with a charismatic voice. "My generation is zero, what about you? Are you from a broken home?" he asked. "I never made it as a working class hero, Christian." Gloria answered. "You're quite my type, Gloria." he said, gently touching her fingernails. "Oh, come off it. I'm quite a feminist." "Really?" Christian wondered, "Well, I like feminists."
"Gloria, where are you, Gloria?" It was Viola with Lilith. Gloria ran towards them. "Here I am." She said. "Well, we wanted to say that Christian isn't a good guy." Viola said. "He's wasting pills and alcohol, Gloria." Lilith said. "And he sang the eulogy." Viola said. "So? I blast my name in graffiti on the walls. And you two do the same!" Gloria said. "We just wanted to ask if you do know the enemy." Viola said angrily. "Yeah, you gotta know the enemy, Glor." Lilith said. "Silence is the enemy against your urgency." Gloria said firmly. "Then go and make out with him. Don't ever dare to say we warned you."
Christian opened his window. He was madly in love with Gloria and felt sick of it. "GLORIA, WHERE ARE YOU GLORIA?!"he screamed. "I love you… Even in my inferno." He sighted. "I got under the grip between this modern hell…" Christian grabbed a half-burnt paper and wrote his love for Gloria. And when he posted it, he slowly sang:
"My beating heart belongs to you
I'd walked for miles 'til I found you
I'm here to honour you,
If I lose everything in the fire
I'm sending all my love to you"
But what Christian didn't know, was that Gloria did the same thing.
