Trade or Dare
Randy, 24, lives with his parents. He has a good job and a car but he can’t afford to stay by himself. He was a good kid in school. Nothing exciting has ever happened to him. Except for today. Today is a special day. Today is a Friday. Randy has lived this Friday 473 times. Does he know about it? Not a clue. Do I know about it? Of course I do. I’m The Narrator. I know everything. He has lived this same Friday 473 times. How do I know this? I put him there. Why? Not sure anymore. But he just lives the same day, over and over again. Nothing changes. Except one thing: him. Events play out the same everyday, but his choices affect how the day unfolds. Little Lacey fell down on Day 178. He helped her clean off and got her back to playing. Day 291 he just kept walking. Will he learn anything from it while I keep toying with this day? Perhaps. We’ll see.
