STORY STARTER
You are onstage making a very important speech when you suddenly reveal something you shouldn't have done.
Write from the moment the reveal happens. Who is your character, and what is the audience's response?

“You know these darn teleprompters … sometimes they have hiccups … of course I meant to say, we look forward with ANTICIPATION to our continued alliance … nothing at all about DOMINATION …heh heh…”
His eyes shifted as he spoke.
I really need a vacation, he thought.
