the beginning

Cooper Kent sat in the lobby reciting his lines. He was next to go in. This was it, he had to get it right this time. The opportunity he has been seeking for the last five years he has been out here. A studio movie with actual money behind it and an A-lister already attached for Cooper to star opposite of. He had to get this one.

So much has happened in the last two weeks for Coop. Woken up by a call from his agent and a fax of the sides, he had just returned back to town this morning after going home for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. There was medical talk pertaining to his father. Something about someone named Huntingtons. He did not quite catch it all. Everyone wanted Cooper to take a blood test before he left. He had no time for that though, he had to get to this audition. His first in three years.

A distraught actor of age similar to Cooper's exits the room, shortly followed by a woman Assistant Casting Director, carrying a clipboard.

"Cooper Kent. Wow great name. You're next, hun."
"Thank you."

Cooper entered the room with everything on his mind, but the lines.
