The Tragedy of Stage Fright

The Beginning of the End

There once was a man named Stage Durlington. He loved a woman named Fright Aghast. They had a very long courtship until one day... It all came to a tragic end... He always had a fear that she would leave him, and it came between them... The night he was to propose, she died from stress. She had kept a diary and had said something that was so beautiful he started to key a term so that no one would go through what he had... And also to honor her memory... What she wrote was, "He reminds me of a shy actor that fears the stage... Though my name is Fright I wish he would not act as if he feared me... My love for him stretches to the end of time itself... Oh, if only we could be together forever...." Thus, their love story will last forever in the two, simplistic, words: Stage Fright.
