Pen to the Paper 14

The crowd stood around a big white sheet held up by cranes. ‘Big’ and ‘white’ are understatements. The sheet was massive.

“Is this the right place?” someone asked.

“I mean, this is the place--well, was the place--we met last time,” another replied. You know Caleb, he probably has something big planned.”

“I will admit, the new parking lot was a nice touch,” called another. "Maybe he wants us to go under it,” he said, walking forward. As soon as he reached the sheet and began to lift it up, he was shocked. Literally.

Everyone gasped, and a few rushed forward to help him up.

Over a loudspeaker, my voice said, “No touchy-touchy!”

The crowd cheered. Finally! The person they were here for was talking to them! This was it. It was going to happen!

“Ladies and gentlefish!” I called at long last. “I now present to you… Pen to the Paper Arena!”

The curtains dropped and the stadium came into full view.

“Isn’t she magnificent? This is all because of you guys! And I thank you for it! Pen to the Paper 14, the season two premiere is open now! And I am waiting in the entrance if you want a tour. Have fun!”
