Barneys real story

B! I! N! G! O! and Bingo was his name oh!! Annnnnndddd cut!

 I pulled off my dinosaur head and lay it on the table. The "kids" take out their pony tails and start lighting eachothers cigarettes. They must be about 23 or so now.  Girl no. 2 is my lift home. I go to my dressing room ( the cupoard ) and take off my suit. I'm not sure if people know this but I'm naked under this suit. I stand naked and look at myself in the mirror. When my dad died he left me this suit so I could carry on the show. Why did I take the job? 

I pull on some underwear and put on a white shirt and an old hoodie . I come out of the cupoard and walk out of the building . I climb into girl no. 2's car. I think her name is Caroline or Courtney, something like that . She yells at me to " get the fuck over here". 

I dont' talk often because of my voice. I got 6 irreversable opperations on my voice box to make me sound like Barney. You don't realy have a choice. They never tell you all the awful things they do to you once you sign that contract.

I climb into the old mini and sit down. I look out the window and watch the city go by . People who work at the Barney set don't live longer than 50 . The poisonous fumes slowly rot away your insides from the power plant next door.  A girl, I think her name was Katelyn, we used to be best friends,  but 6 years ago , when we were both 28 , the fumes from the set burned away her insides within a week of playing one of the baby dinosaurs . She screamed in pain on day 4 and passed out . They locked her in the back room, with the window open . She was decomposing alive! Her remains are still their, if you call clothes and the engagement ring from me remains. 

We reach my flat. I thank her but she has already driven off. I climb the long stairs and reach my room. I go inside and gasp as the smell of rotten flesh makes my eyes water .

 My dog had died......

And so had my dog sitter while I was away .

 He must have forgotten to wear a gas mask , lucky probably starved . I don't care about anything any more. Everything is dark, so I leave my mask on the table and walk over to the balcony. The city was once so beautiful at night . The gasses slowly make me sleepynow. I think about life and how it was great, before...

"I feel sorry for the next Barney" I say to myself in my loopy voice . I don't think twice. I put my foot on the railing and heave myself over the edge. I'm falling. I feel the wind rush against my face and  I close my eyes. 

I am free .

 The gasses put me to sleep, and I never felt the ground beneath me.
