Storyteller: Greetings, fellow visitors. I am the Storyteller and I tell stories with no happy endings. It simply swells me to see you all again. Now, interns are interesting aren't they? Young people working for a big company. But, what if I were to tell you that an intern could end up from being a normal human being to a different person. That is what happened to poor 'little' Alex Wendall.

(Cuts to a company where a shy young adult walks inside and holds a suitcase)

Worker #1: Welcome back, Alex.

Alex: Umm... Thanks? I guess. (buries his face in his suitcase as he walks awkwardly)

Storyteller: (narrates) Alex is like any other interns you see every day, just doing their job, attempting to do their best to impress their boss, and pretty much anything. Anything to impress the boss. But unlike other interns, Alex wasn't that fairly treated by his coworkers at all. Instead, he was, how do you say it, um... Oh yeah... Treated like trash.

(Alex was walking but suddenly, he was tripped over by one of the workers. He gets up and looks around to see if anyone tripped him. Alex groans and walks to where he supposed to be.)

Worker #2: Hey, Alex. How's your trip?

Alex: I-it was okay. Took many pictures I wished to show you.

Worker #2: You're that dense aren't you?

Alex: (rubs his arm) Kind of...

Worker #2: (shakes her head) Look Alex. You might get yourself into a little problem but seriously, you should start doing more than just being yourself. Not trying to sound mean.

Alex: Oh... Okay... (holds the papers and takes them)
