Chapter 5 by Miriam Miriam

There's no-one around. What to do?

Look around for someone to help you out

"Hello?" You say out loud. You don't expect an answer, but to your surprise you get one.

"Oh, hi!", A tall man walks out from the back room. "Sorry, I was just finishing up on my screenplay." He looks middle-aged, wearing a checkered coat. Heavy glasses press on a somewhat crooked nose, but he seems friendly enough. He has an almost musical tone of voice which sounds surprisingly pleasant to listen to. He places a clipboard he was holding on the desk as he looks at you curiously.

"I'm Marlow", you introduce yourself to him. "I'm here for the audition?"

He smiles, then looks you up and down thoroughly, his gaze lingering longer around your face, chest and legs. He seems to be liking what he sees, judging by his widening grin. "Ah yes, you're the girl that replied to our ad?", he asks. He lowers his glasses slightly, peering over the top of them for a moment before taking them off altogether and placing them on the desk on top of the clipboard.

You nod your head slowly. "Yes. That's me".

He claps his hands together, almost seeming excited. "Well, I'm glad you could make it! I'm Ben, but you can call me Red. Why don't you come in and take a seat so we can get started?". He turns around to walk into the room behind the reception, and you step around the desk to follow him. He leads you inside before pointing you towards one of the couches. You sit down on it, the leather creaking, and Red sits on the one across from you.

"So, tell me a little about yourself", he says after a moment of awkward silence. "Why do you think you are a match for the movie industry?"

Are you a match for the movie industry? How do you answer?
