    About this ebook

    When all the world is a stage, sometimes the bit players have to take center stage.
    Aaron Little is a Second, a bit actor in the movie that is life.
    He's about to get his big chance and have a scene with the Star of the show.
    When the Star is murdered and the production is thrown into chaos Aaron must find a way to make things right.
    Aaron's orderly world turns into a horror movie when a great beast appears on the set killing with impunity.
    Can Aaron find a new Star to save them? Will he be the creature's next victim?

    A short story that takes "All the world's a stage" to the next level.
