Prompts = Agency, Role, Authorize
Story 1 — Isn’t This House Safe?
There was a series of knocks at the door.
‘Mike. Can you get that?’
Then it repeated.
‘Mike!’
It repeated again, harder and faster.
She threw down her cooking mitts and stomped to the door. ‘Yeah?’
A young man in sunglasses spoke quickly and quietly. ‘Zebras are confused horses.’
She stared at him. ‘What?’
‘Zebras are… you have no idea what I’m talking about, do you? Look, I’m not authorized to say I’m with The Agency, but isn’t this the safe house?’
‘No. But there’s a guy waving madly at the house across the street. Maybe you want that one.’
Story 2 — The Stand-In

Raymond threw open the theatre doors theatrically, pausing in the doorway to maximize his presence. He took a deep breath in, then released. ‘I love the smell of Broadway.’
The actors on stage and the smattering of people in seats all turned to look as he strode confidently down the aisle. ‘My name is Raymond Peale from the Broadway Players agency, and I’m here to stand in for the role of Postman #2, the misunderstood and frankly slightly deviant deliverer of mail to Apartment Block C.’
A producer stood up. ‘Who authorized this?’
A hand rose slowly, tentatively.
‘You’re fired.’
