Narrator:
The words that you will be hearing are describing what is happening in the eyes of a commercially sexually exploited child for the second time.
The child only speaks out once.
You will hear the child’s thoughts throughout the story. You will experience her view.
For historical purposes, Stacy was born and raised as a fourth generation, Jehovah’s Witnesses.
It is Labor Day weekend in 1983. Stacy will turn 7 in October.

SCENE 3
Props for this scene:
2 Old film lights
1983 Film camera with the 2 cameras to it
Rapist/bag and the rope
On projector scene Sc 3 slide # 6-10— this is when the time clock starts Friday at 7pm and goes till Sunday afternoon.
What I see each prop the lights, the film camera, the rapist/bag with rope Enters. I see them as three art pieces that are movable on wheels.
1 Art piece) Lights
stuffed straw doll light man-cut off jeans White T-shirt tennis shoes. Two film lights.
2 Art piece) Film camera
stuffed straw doll camera man, brown polyester pants and some tacky polyester button-down V- neck.
3 Art piece) Gym bag
stuffed straw doll man Pedo/rapist-Bodybuilder small build super fit redhead short military haircut. Bag in his hand.
This whole scene is going to be incredibly challenging to portray tying the child up to the four corners of the bed, oral sex for hours, mouth and vagina. Also, there will be a scene of turning the child over, tying her up again and whipping her the first night.
It goes on Friday night, Saturday morning-noon and night, Sunday morning untie the child and bring in June’s older son to do the same things as the adult rapist but this time, the child is free. Not tied to the bed.
It’s Saturday- She is feeding me a cheese danish like the ones that we get at the yearly Jehovah’s Witness assemblies. She only gives me half.
I’m starving my stomach hurts. (Dancers)
(June then folds the other half of the danish in the plastic wrapper and puts it in her back pocket walks to the small hotel table and gets a small styrofoam cup with water.)-action
She’s coming to me, bringing me a cup!
I’m so thirsty.
(June brings the cup to Stacy‘s mouth and Stacy takes a huge first gulp. Stacey then realizes that the water taste strange. June brings up the cup again, and Stacey spits it out, and it runs down the corners of her lips.)-action
(Stacy on bed curled up on one side.)-action
