***The road of life; We all travel down it, not even realizing what problems that we might run into, or what advantages that we might have the oppertunity to take, but eventually, we all get to the end of the road, and decide what makes or breaks us. As my gym teacher once taught me, "Never take advantages that you didn't earn, because that would be in violation of the fair play rule." To tell you the truth, not only I, but everyone else in my class thought the same way I did. That line was the biggest load of horse shit that you'll ever come across. Rumour has it, the teachers wife left him for another woman, and oh yes, I believe that the story is 100% true. This so called "fair play rule" cannot be used to guide you down the road of life, only you, yourself can guide you down that particular path, where YOU make the desicions that will change your life, such as achieving a particular dream. Your dream could consist of winning a fishing derby, getting married, or becoming a movie star, but in the end, once you accomplish these goals, what's left? You create more goals to accomplish, and eventually, you become known for doing something great, like being a World Champion of something, perhaps in a wrestling organization. This reminds me of a tale, about a man, and a quest for gold...but before I get ahead of myself, lets see what happened with him.***

***The scene opens in a local bookstore, in a city known as Denver, Colorado. Inside, people are furiously purchasing the newest releases of books for loved ones, more than likely, giving the books out as Christmas presents as the time ticks down before another festive holiday. A new book has just currently hit the shelves, written by pro wrestling superstar, "The Nitemare" Rob Osbourne, and wrestling fans are buying copies of this book left and right. In the book, there is a chapter on RWA Superstar, "Too Xtreme" Eric Badger, who has travelled the world and the seven seas with Rob. The two have almost grown as brothers over the past few years, and rumour has it that Eric is quite honoured to be featured in it. Moments after an elderly woman purchases "Chicken Soup for the Soul," Eric Badger himself walks into the small book store, in search for a copy of the new book. He kindly asks the attendant if there are any copies left in stock.***
TXEB - Uhm, Excuse me Miss? Would you know where I could find a copy of Rob Osbourne's new autobiography? I've been looking everywhere for it.
Attendant - Actually, I believe that I have one copy left, but it is for my nephew for Christmas.
TXEB - Well, I am willing to pay almost any price for it.
Attendant - Well, we get a new shipment in on the 28th of December, would you be willing to wait until then?
TXEB - Actually, that is bad for me, because I am only in town for no more than a week, because my job requires me to travel all the time.
Attendant - Well, what do you do? Do you have a home address where I'd be able to send one?
TXEB - No, I don't currently have a residence, but come on, just let me buy your copy, I'll do anything.
Attendant - (smirk) Anything...?
TXEB - Yes...anything.
Attendant - Alright, well, let me write down my address, and come by my house around 7 tonight. I'll be waiting for you.
TXEB - Alright, will do! Talk to you later.
Attendant - Goodbye, and thank you for shopping at Harrison Books!
***The attendant writes her name down on the piece of paper; Heather. Also on the paper is her home address, and telephone number. Eric walks out of the book store and back toward his hotel. He is still pondering to take the flight to Des Moines, Iowa for Sunday Night Explosion, but will need time to think about it before he goes to Heather's. He arrives roughly ten minutes after leaving the book store and goes upstairs to his suite. When he opens the door, he hears a beep, which is his cell phone resting on the coffee table in the living room. He walks over to it, and looks ont he display, which says "New Voicemail!" on it. He listens and it is a message from a former companion.***
Voice on Phone - Eric, it's me, Rob. I just want to tell you that whenever you read my book you don't take what I say to heart. I might have said some things while I was writing that shouldn't have been said. For the record, I felt they needed to be said, but I didn't mean any harm to you. Once you get the book, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Talk to you later, hopefully. *click*
***The message ends, and Eric puts the phone back down on the coffee table. He stops, sits on the sofa, and thinks about what Rob could possibly mean. Eric gets up, and decides to go have a shower and get all spiced up for his meeting with Heather later on in the evening. He enters the bathroom as the scene fades to black.***
