Prompts = Cheer, Comment, Click

‘Cut!’

Everyone turned to see the director, Stanley Rubric, gripping his hair in frustration.

‘You! Blue shirt! What’s that watch you’re wearing?’

The man looked. ‘It’s… a digital watch.’

Stanley’s face contorted. ‘Did they exist in 1969?’

‘No, Mr. Rubric.’

‘No, they didn’t. Imagine the comments I’ll get when my video, this governmental-sanctioned remake of the faked moon landing, features a digital watch? Take it off!

‘Let’s reset and try again!’

The “Houston control room” actors sat down, ready for the click of the clapperboard and the call for “action” to cheer Neil Armstrong’s first words from the “moon”.
