A Lifetime Together in 300 Words, Part 2: Theater 101

Jessica, still in her sweaty gym clothes, ran into the theater’s lobby and made a beeline to the bulletin board.

Mary was already there, shrieking in ecstasy. Jessica stopped in her tracks. A look at the casting announcement confirmed the obvious: Mary was the lead.

“Aren’t you going to congratulate me?” Mary asked.

“You kissed ass to get the part.”

“If you want it that badly, I’ll turn it down.”

“And let you play the martyr? You’d love that.”

“Whatever!”

Before things could get out of hand, some theater geeks showed up. Mary joined them. They congratulated her.

Jessica sneered.
