*A tune drafts in from down the corridor, it is a classic, it is sung in tune and is so beautiful that it would make the angels weap...*
Voice:
...and now, the end is near;
And so i face the final curtain.
My friend, i'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which i'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way...
*He comes into focus... two beings walk behind him with their heads held high, full of pride... they know what they have to do, it is a sad day but it must be done...*
Voice:
...Regrets, i've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what i had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
*They draw closer and closer, the music gets louder, a single tear rolls down the face of the female character, she still holds her head high...*
Voice:
...Yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
When i bit off more than i could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and i stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, i've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think i did all that;
And may i say - not in a shy way,
"no, oh no not me,
I did it my way"....
*All three walk into the middle of the stage, they stop, dressed beautifully, they are imaculate for what is obviously a sad time for them...
Eva, in is best clothes, he adjusts his jacket, pulls off his shades and pockets them, there are tears in his eyes...
Vix, In her best black evening dress and best shoes... she takes a hanky from her purse and dabs at her eye's
Adam, wearing white pants with a white jacket and a black shirt under it... He looks good, as only a senior Author could... he's the one singing*
Adam:
...For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows i took the blows -
And did it my way!
*He drops his head as the last verse bellows out, he strokes his hair back and then looks up with a sad smile, he nod's at his fellow authors and thier players...*
Adam: ...Hi peep's
*He takes his seat, Eva and Vix sit at either side of him...*
Adam: ...I'm glad we could do this, you have no idea how much this means to me ...when I started this thread last March, I didnt think it would take on a life of it's own, I've done ome of my best writing in here, both comedic, dramatic and retarded, I created characters in here (glances at Vix who blushes under her fur), and I've refined characters in here (glances at Eva who smiles lightly), I've had epic wars (looks at Kyle and nod's to him with respect) and I've created Off-line Friendships because of here (nod's at Pad)... because of these and other facts, I have desided, with help of Kyle and Pad, to kill this thread off and give it a propper funeral rather then let it wither off and die... so, for the next couple of days, please feel free to coment on your OTT experiences and have fun remembering what happened in here... please lets send my baby off with a bang.
*He, Eva and Vix stand up...*
Adam: The Funeral is on tuesday, on it's birthday... but to be fair (and because I'm going on vacation) this thread is going to stay alive untill the 27th... lets treat her well, we've had fun in here, lets end it on a high.
*He wipes a tear from his eye and turns towards the door*
Adam: ...By they way, you guy's where great, thanks for everything.
*he turns towards Kyle*
Adam: Oh by the way man, no one ends this bitch but me
