It was a normal day ,lying on my carpet starring up into the ceiling wondering to the back of my head. I used to get a lot of alerts on my phone and I ignore the repetitive binging noise most of the time. I turned my head and stared at my phone. I turned back. I waited longer and longer, resisting from the annoyance. I usually am scared of looking at my phone because I'm of people finding out I'm this scared of stepping out back into the public. I suddenly felt a strong ,painful urge to look at my phone. I rolled out of my comfort and stretched. I saw the average "Kermit where are you?" , "Kermit where have you gone?" messages but I noticed a peculiar email. I don't usually get email as nobody knows it, and I struggled to figure out how this person found it!
I slowly typed in my password afraid to see what my phone would unlock. I refused to answer any texts and went straight to this strange email. I opened the email app. "1 Mail". How peculiar I thought to myself. "From Jim Henson". I thought the name sounded familiar. I slowly read the email.
"Dear Kermit,
I know that we have not heard from you for a while and it may be a big ask. But, we would like to offer you another role in our new sequel of the muppets.
The film will be called Muppets Most Wanted. And your roll will be more significant in this movie than the last and your romance will be taken further with Miss Piggy.
I'm sorry for the sudden shock now but we thought it would be a good idea. I would be very happy if you would accept or even see this. Again If you are interested please email back.
Thanks,
Jim Henson."
I froze in shock. I thought that nobody wanted me. There is no way in heck that I thought I would take this job but this email was a path of light showing me the way out of the darkness, a saviour in my eyes. There was the occasional voice at the back of my mind telling me this was a bad idea but I didn't listen. I listened to my gut. I sat and digested the puzzling information I was just given and I believed this was a way to show the world that I could still be that star that I needed to live up to years ago. I thought to myself "2014 will be my year and I know it!"

I took a deep breath in and started writing my email back and I didn't know what to write. "Dear Jim Henson, Thank you for your offer and I greatly appreciate it." "To Jim Henson". I took one more deep breath in and wrote like I had never done before.
"Dear Jim Henson,
Yes I am still alive. And I greatly appreciate your offer. I would love to take this opportunity on board and redeem myself from my past mistakes. Thank you for the offer and I am keen to get started. Please text me by my number below,
Number: 1234567890
Yours sincerely,
Kermit the frog."
And deep breath out. I had made a brave new step out of my comfort zone and I was proud of myself for stepping out of the darkness. It was 22:43 and I was anticipating an answer. I sat and watched my phone, never breaking eye contact. "Bing!"...
