02.Story by Cris, THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 42/50 )

THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 42/50 )

People are so predictable it's nuts, really.I should write a handbook on how to move the masses. Hang on! Honey! Smile! No, I think it would be better if you're sketching in your notebook.

But, I didn't bring one.

Sally, can we have a notebook here, Quick.Hang on a minute, problem with the kid. There you go.

But, It's not the right colour.I'd never sketch on a green notebook.

This is just a photograph, nobody cares.OK, so, where were we?

It's amazing! Wow. Thank you.

Now, I don't want to get your hopes up, but ... Listen to this: The White House is sniffing around!

The White House?

The President stated the union addresses next week, and they, and they love having talking points in the audience.

I can hear 'em now
