M. Larson","","A collection of playful monologues by D. M. Larson, each built around a distinct childlike fantasy or worry: making wishes under the stars, craving change, dreaming of dragons, and wrestling with growing up. Characters also transform disappointments into humor, from failed “super” attempts and pirate discomfort to misunderstood bug-eyed aliens. Several pieces echo classic fairy-tale or pirate themes, while recurring internal doubts and desires drive personal, relatable turns.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/monologues-d-m-larson/510673/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/monologues-d-m-larson/510673.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Maya Linwood","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-17","2026-10-05",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",5,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What themes appear across these monologues?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"They repeatedly focus on wishes, dreams, identity, and the humor of trying to change or fit in.

I make them all the time. I watch for the first star each night…\"Star light star bright, first star I see tonight... I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight... \" I always make the same wish, but I can't tell what it is. Then it might not come true. I really want it to. It would change my life. (Wishing by D. M. Larson)  \nWishing 2  \nHave you ever wanted anything that badly in your life? So badly that you can't imagine your future without it? I would be so sad if my life wasn't different... If things didn't change... If I was still stuck here... In this life. But I won't stop wishing... I can't… I don't want to be left with [nothing... zero... give me](nothing... zero... give me) some meaning... and make this suffering worthwhile. (Wishing by D.  \nM. Larson)  \nKid Hero  \nI've always dreamed of being a hero. I've tried everything to become super. I let a spider bite me... no spider powers; just lots of itching. I tried standing too close to the microwave oven hoping the radiation would change me. Nothing. And I got in trouble for making so many bags of popcorn. But I took it all to school and had a popcorn party. I was a hero that day. So I guess it kinda worked. (Kid Hero by D. M. Larson)  \nBones the Pirate Girl  \nI am sick of being at sea. I want to feel solid ground. Oh... To take a nice warm bath... Instead of washing in freezing cold sea water. You see what the sea has done to my hair! (Bones the Pirate Girl by D. M. Larson)  \nBones the Pirate Girl 2  \nYou'll never find ice cream on a pirate ship. I'd give anything for a scoop. But you'll never find anything like that on this rust bucket... no milk, no ice cream, not even an itty bitty ice cube... How come the most wonderful things in life spoil so quickly? (Bones the Pirate Girl by D. M. Larson)  \nStaying Power  \nWith the stars in the sky, I know they'll be there night after night, always there for me to make a wish. What do I wish for? (Staying Power, by D. M. Larson)  \nDreaming of Dragons  \nWhat do you dream about? I dream about dragons. All the time. I know they're not real but I want them to be. Sure, most girls dream of unicorns but I... I love dragons... And fire.  \n(Dreaming of Dragons, by D. M. Larson)  \nGrowing up is Hard to Do  \nI feel so strange tonight, waking up in the full moon's light. Something had changed. I am not the same. I'm getting really hairy. More hairy than I thought a boy could be. This is rather scary and ...[and....my](and....my) voice is changing toooooo. (Growing up is Hard to Do, D. M. Larson)  \nCatchick  \nI am tired of my catlike mutant powers. You know how annoying it is to be like a cat? Look. I want to be able to go the beach without getting the urge to use the bathroom. I want to go swimming again. I am tired of all those naps. Please doctor. Take me next. (Starts coking on something. ) And I'm tired of all the hairballs! You can have my powers. Please take them from me. I want to be normal. (Catchick, by D. M. Larson)  \nGood Deeds and Such  \nAll right, you witches. We've got ourselves a PR problem here. Witches have got a seriously bad reputation here in Fairy Tale Land and it's only getting worse since the Hansel and Gretel incident. I mean, come on people. Eating children. That's just low. (Good Deeds and Such, by D. M. Larson)  \nThe Big Bad Wolf  \n(WOLF) I know exactly what you mean. People misconwhattionize me all the time. Man, you accidentally knock down some pig's house with a sneeze and they start telling stories about you. And now there's this little girl and her red hood. Who knows what they'll say about this one. (The Big Bad Wolf, by D. M. Larson)  \nLittle Pirate  \nHi, I'm Peggy. Peggy the... Well, I don't have a true pirate name yet. Well, some of them call me... Peggy the Pint Sized Pirate. But I'm tired of it. I won't stand for it anymore. (Hears someone and put hands on hips) Yes, I’m standing! (Little Pirate, by D. M. Larson)  \nBug-eyed Creature  \nBeing the new ki","cbCaihXIWRKimZIe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihXIWRKimZIe","pdf",346764,"English","# Wishing\n# Wishing 2\n# Kid Hero\n# Bones the Pirate Girl\n# Bones the Pirate Girl 2\n# Staying Power\n# Dreaming of Dragons\n# Growing up is Hard to Do\n# Catchick\n# Good Deeds and Such\n# The Big Bad Wolf\n# Little Pirate\n# Bug-eyed Creature\n# Carry a Stuffy\n# YAR!
