I like these short pieces you've been doing, lots of fun to read. :-)
I know exactly the feeling you're talking about here! You know your lines, and they're rushing through your head at a million miles an hour and then suddenly, with or without a trigger, they're gone.
Although Theo committed a bit of a theater faux pas here; after the stage manager said, "We're on in five" (actually, "five minutes to curtain" might be more accurate for a stage show) he should have replied with "thank you, five" to show that he heard. Sorry, I'm a nitpicky theater geek. ;-)
Another hundred-word creation? :O That's amazing~ How you manage to create a short, simple, yet beautiful piece in a few sentences will never fail to amaze me. ;) I like Theo's name. :P I very much love the concept of this one. He's being so pro with what he's doing, yet Leah's pre-play greeting caught him completely off guard. It's cute! And is that really how to spell gitters? I would have spelled it as jitters =)) Keep up the good work!
Alright, I'll change that.Something was bothering me with that line when I wrote it so I think that'll fix it.
I was thinking of writing more about Leah, and if I wasn't under the word limit, I would've. But then, I thought it would be fun to leave people guessing for a change :))
I glad I managed to capture that feeling. I think it's one of life's biggest thrills, to completely blank out for a bit when it really matters most. It's great that a lot of people could relate to that.
Thanks for the edit! And I'm sorry for the late reply :D

LOL Theo's name just came to me. And Leah was probably from me watching Star Wars ;) He's so flustered though. It's cute.
OOOOOOH GOSH
EDITING IMMEDIATELY

Poor Theo, though. I don't think he's as confident anymore.

I'm not so sure myself. I don't THINK she does, but I could be wrong. These characters have a mind of their own.
