Unfair Advantage

I’d rehearsed the audition speech for weeks, so when I saw the ‘Auditions Closed’ sign, I marched in to complain.

Apparently they’d found their girl in the first half hour. They introduced me to her. I could see what they meant. I’d have needed a good make up artist to transform me into a hideous old bag - she was perfect.

this is heartbreaking... and so unfair! You always create such great situations.

Ah, now we need to wonder if this is literally "true" or if somebody's just in a pissy mood. Besides, aren't the leads always somebody's mistress? Cute little story, and great use of the word count. 'Course, you sort of have an "Unfair Advantage," don't you?

(See what I did there? Bwah ha ha ha ha . . . yeah, that was terrible.)
