It's been a whirlwind time period for you, you went from playing a game on your phone to being in Los Angeles the next. You're placed in a nice hotel room and told that the next taping is that night at 7PM and to enhance your chances of appearing on the show and winning over a million dollars, it was recommended that you download and use the official practice application to increase your likelihood of getting picked. Do you... [[Go sight-seeing in L.A.? You only get to see it so often.->Sight-See]] [[Practice. I want to be rich.->Practice]] Your thumbs are cramping from the rigorous amount of use your phone has gotten. Your brain hurts and there is not enough advil in the world to take care of all of the pain you have acquired. But, it is no matter, because you have leveled yourself up so much, the producers behind The Show have to pick you. [[You head off and get ready to be a part of the live audience->Attend Show]]You work your way around Los Angeles hitting all of the big landmarks. But you can't seem to keep your mind off the live taping tonight. It's just so easy to get excited to be a part of a live audience, it's something you've never done before. After meandering through the city, you head back to your hotel room, get dressed and get ready to go [[be a part of the audience->Attend Show]]You sit down and take your seat in the audience, the next think you know, you see the introduction that you were just watching the other night. "Welcome America to the hottest game show on television! We'll find out tonight just how much money our contestants tonight can win, but, as everyone knows by now, they're not the only ones eligible to win! If you have not done so yet, download the official application and take part in winning luxurious prizes today!" You sit and wait for your name to be called first, but it's not. It's no matter, just [[keep on waiting->Watch a Winner]]You watch as the contestant wins and takes home money. "It's odd," you think to yourself. "They look similar to me, but they seem to have a little bit off about them. They're the same age, same height, it's weird, but there's something not right about how they just acted." "That ends the show for the night, please join us again tomorrow night for the next episode of The Show!" You find it hard to contain your disappointment, you could've sworn you had a good feeling about getting onto The Show tonight. What's one more day? [[Let's try again->Practice 2.0]]Since you've decided to stay just one more day on your own money, you decide to practice hard at the application. You reason that the producers said that the application was a good way to get on as the live contestant, so let's just spend the whole day working on it. It was not like you had plans anyways! [[Later that night, it's time to try again->Get On Show]]Just like every other time, the opening is the same. "Welcome America to the hottest game show on television! We'll find out tonight just how much money our contestants tonight can win, but, as everyone knows by now, they're not the only ones eligible to win! If you have not done so yet, download the official application and take part in winning luxurious prizes today!" Suddenly. You hear your name. It's you. You've been called to be a contestant. This is your chance for [[$1,000,000->Fail]] True or False? Jimmy Carter appeared on the television series laugh-in. A. [[True->Practice 3.0]] B. [[False->Practice 3.0]]"I'm sorry, that is incorrect, you've lost. Better luck next time!" As you walk off the stage, you can feel your cheeks going red from embarrassment . You worked too hard to fail like that, you were destined to win. No matter how much training it took, not matter what happened, you are going to win. Nothing is going to stop you. [[You take out your phone and begin practicing->Final]]Congratulations, you've become a very self-disciplined person. Way to hit those books, congratulations on what is guaranteed to be millions in life-time earnings with that work ethic!Who knows how long it's been. You keep on trying and you keep on failing. You are the laughing stock of the town, but you won't be once you've won. You hit try again and continue practicing. "If I just keep on working, this time will be my real opportunity," [[you reason to yourself]]. It's days later now, it could be weeks, you're not really too sure. You have a routine now, every morning you wake up and begin practicing, maybe you might even buy a second phone so you can keep on practicing on two phones at once. Your clothes aren't clean anymore but you don't have time to worry about it, just keep on practicing, when you're rich you'll be able to worry about that. You vaguely remember something about having had a test before you left for Los Angeles, but you dismiss that, "It won't matter once I'm rich," you say as you hit the button to practice one more time.Double-click this passage to edit it.
