Lights, Camera, Fate!


Lights Camera Action

Three hooded, raggaty,

shabby

clothed ladies appear in

a magestical, fantestical

puff of

smoke

and as 

they

bow

for the

crowd.

 

             Bound to share one

eye between              the three of them they

tear it out                and insert it into their

skulls. The             pulsating, wet, red eye
rolls between their fingers or the floor.

           

                        A woman walks

                        up to the stage.

                        The shortest fate

tells the lady her entire past. The tallest one tells

the  lady's future. The one in the middle told her 

                   what the last two fates

                   just said and told her what 

                   she'll for lunch right after

                   the show. Such is fate.

 

A man comes up onto the stage and the

fates do               the same

thing                   as last time.

After the show the director comes up

and showed them the

harsh words of the web. 

    The ratings were low. The show

    was panned. The show won't go on
