Part One FINALLY! Emerson exhaled as his eyes darted over his inbox, the email he had anticipated more then any other in his life had finally arrived! Without even clicking on the email Emerson knew by its subject - Welcome to Soar-Us Entertainment! - that he was about to get his big break in life. For years Emerson had ground away at life: he always struggled to hold down a job for more than six-month periods and his evenings were usually spent telling jokes on stage to ‘crowds’ of less then ten people. Life was not always kind to him nor was Emerson always kind to life. in fact, Emerson often used to proclaim to his small circle of friends that he was almost certainly cursed and nothing good would ever come to him. He swore that his life was meant nothing more then to be a tragedy - he never found a girl who understood him, and he believed his life was going to be a waste of good human organs.
