Challenge 119
Prompt 119 Act
All the world’s a stage, and all the people merely players. Especially con men and FBI agents. Running a con is all about the act. How much of Neal’s life has he spent pretending to be someone he wasn’t? How much time has he spent acting like he cares about something trivial to get in good with someone else? And on the other side how often has he had to play the cold and heartless con when some mark managed to get under his skin? In the FBI it seems you never know when you might have to go undercover and acting chops are a must. Did any of our agents spend some time in the Drama Club in school? Maybe take Acting 101 for that mandatory arts credit? Who was good enough that with a little push their life might have taken a very different path?
Last week dennih23 kept us up with a wonderfully introspective little fic. Thank you and Neal will be coming around to draw you an evening bath.
