A meditation on the trappings of compromise, and the emotional dynamics of resentment sustained, in the face of an impending conclusion.
"Short Day" chronicles the interior stream of consciousness; part anxiety attack, part reluctant confession, and all the seemingly opposing resolutions that are really the alternating rebelling against and conformity to unfulfilled longings for love, respect and peace of mind, of a writer in her early 30's, Natalie, caught up in the consequences of a love triangle and betrayal, while anticipating the impending conclusion in the live-in van of her absent boyfriend, Victor.
