a 100 word story
Drama
by Bill Schott
I was new to East High and the drama class. Mr. Chambers assembled the cast on the stage.
"Listen up, students. We ---"
"Mister C," interrupted a girl in a toga. "May we welcome the new guy?"
"Yes, Amy," he answered. "Everyone, form a line; welcome Christopher to drama."
Each student greeted me with a showbiz quote.
"Break a leg."
"I knew it was you, Fredo."
"Yooo luke Mahvalous!"
“Plastics.”
Finally, Amy stepped up and smooched me saying, "Make me immortal with a kiss."
I smiled, turned, and threw my arms up shouting, “Look Ma! Top a da woyld!”
