On in 60
"60 seconds"
I look around.
People running to their posts.
Lights being adjusted above my head.
Look down.
Still in the right cloths.
"50 seconds"
I look to my side.
A Mirror
My make up is on just right
My hair is parted just the way I like it
"40 Seconds"
Still looking
My cloths look brand new
They match my blue eyes
And my brown hair
Am I standing up right?
Am I slouching?
"30 Seconds"
Make faces in the mirror
What emotitions can I emit?
Can I look happy?
How about sad?
Gotta add that silly face
Perfect
"20 Seconds"
They roll out the cameras
The set is now void of people
Except me
And the furniture
Yet you can still here people running around behind the camera
"10 Seconds"
Oh god
What were my lines again?
Do I say that before or after I sit down
Oh good, I prompter
"We're on in 5"
Brace yourself
"4"
Loosen up. Can't seem tight
"3"
Blink. Blink and breath. Don't forget the basics
"2"
Well, here I go. Wish me luck
"1"
No regrets now
"And we're live"
...
I wake up. Not to an alarm, but to a knocking.
"You're needed on set."
