    I am laying down on my bed, bored out of my mind and defiantly tired. For the past few weeks, I've just been making new episodes to my show with little to no breaks, in fact, this is the first break I've had in... I hold out my hand and count to 5 on them and then let my hand drop to my side. I can't believe it, 5 weeks!  I sigh out of boredom, everyone is busy I have no one to talk to. after what felt like an hour of no noise, the phone rings in the other room. It startles me at first but I get up and drag myself into the room to pick up the phone. When I pick up the phone just expecting it to be my manager to call me back in or reminding me I have to come back in tomorrow.

"Hello, is this  Albert?" Says the man on the phone.

"R-Robert!?" I respond in shock, I can't believe it, it's Robert I haven't heard from him in years!

Robert responded joyfully, "Albert, it's been so long since I've seen you how's it going!"

"It has been going go-"

"I'd love to have you over sometime for some hot cocoa!" Robert interrupted

"You know what, I would love to!" I responded in a kind voice

"That's great! Let us- I mean, let me know what time you would like to come over."

"How about 10 pm or anytime this week."

"You should come today! I wanna talk to ketch up with you and I can also introduce you and your Wife to my kids!" Robert says determinedly. I pause, going as silent as chuck lloyd's house at night. I never told him what happened, did I?

"What's wrong, is today not oka-"

"T-today is fine, in fact, ill get ready right now!" I respond in an anxious tone but I make myself sound as happy as possible.

"Well then, see you later!" Robert says right before the phone hangs up.

I stand still, completely dazed, how could I have not told him yet, that she-. I trail off in my thoughts thinking about her. After 3 minutes I realized I forgot to hang up my end of the phone. I put the phone back in its place and head to my room, in the prosses I spot the mirror in the doorway. The mirror is surrounded by a wooden frame held up by 4 nails attached to the wall, it may be clear, but still older than me. I look into the reflection, I see a man who is bald but his head is covered with a bright brown cowboy hat, he has bright blue overalls on with black boots on and he is a little bit rounded on the stomach. Well, the person in the reflection is me, it always has been. Well, this is a good enough outfit I should just go in this. I turn off the lights and head for the front door, off to Hallam Island.
