The Great Mr.Lead

For my next feat I require a member of the audience!


.......


Yes! You Madam! Perfect


..........
........


Ladies and Gentleman; observe!


......


Now, madam, I'd like you to know that sometimes I just sit with tears streaming down my face, offended.. hurt by the bleakness of it all..
As if everything you, I, we have EVER BEEN TAUGHT, was just some sort of distant dream-reality...


*audience gasps*


Yes. That.. pursuing truth and.. aspiring to share this truth with others.. is futile. That.. that caring at all is a pointless joke.


*Unsettled muttering*


Other days though, I know why it's worth living. I'll share it... I.. The GREAT MR.LEAD! will show you the truth! Behind this curtain lies the answer to it all! Behind this curtain is my guiding warmth. It's the reason that I am The Great Mr.Lead... The reason we love.. The reason to carry on.


*Attentive muttering*


And this is IT!


<Curtain pulled back>
<Revealed is a massive mirror. The audience can see themselves>
<The Great Mr.Lead breaks into a massive tender smile>
<There is dead silence>


*Booing*
*Shouts of "refund"!*


<The Great Mr.Lead is confused. His face changes into one of hurt>
<The Great Mr.Lead begins to cry>
<The audience throw things at The Great Mr.Lead>
<He leaves the arena, still crying>
<That night he hangs himself>
