Talk show

Audience applauds. Host enters. Smiles. Sincerly complements the audience on strength of thier applause. Audience applauds louder. Host sarcastically states he is not worthy of such a warm reception. Audience applauds louder. Host now questions the sincerity of the applause. Audience applauds louder. Host runs offstage, questioning his self-esteem.

  2. Poor host. There is a strange tension that you build in this story. I know this is a scene and that we can't write scenes anymore... but because you cut all the fat out of the verbage, you are able to fit so much into a small space that it reads more like a story due to quantity of information and development of the tension I mentioned. (I'm a on a fucking awful rhyming spree lately) These are all very good things. Also, typos are hard to avoid at 5:37am, god dman
