They held an improv play every time they released a new character in the game. Every Friday at 7:30 PM in the park. I had forgotten this fact however, and one night while I was staring into the pond, a large pillar of rock rose up from the water. I jumped back in shock as a door opened and a couple made their entrance onto the stage, asking for volunteer actors for tonight’s show. Just by coincidence, I was here for every performance - and someone just happened to recognize me.

“We’re always running low on actors”, they said. “Why don’t you get on for once?” I turned down the request, as always. I was much too nervous to perform on stage.

Usually it would end with just that, but this time they had a newer member on the crew. Having never met me before, they started getting pushy about my non-participation. The director looked concerned, as I inched farther and farther away from the stage.
