      Chapter 1: American River Run-In

      Sometimes when Cupid’s arrow strikes it’s like a real arrow touching down. That’s how Annie Anderson felt at 3:47 on a Thursday afternoon, jogging along the American River Parkway with her trusty hound. One minute she was talking to herself about making good time (actually she was talking to Eddie, but Eddie was ignoring her—his ears flapping dramatically in the wind may have been responsible), the next she was flat on her back in the grass wondering what had hit her.

      Oh my god, are you all right?

      Ow, is all Annie could manage, trying to sit up and assess the situation.

      I’m so sorry, I didn’t even see you until it was too late! The man helping her up is dressed from head to toe in yellow Spandex, and has perched his sunglasses atop his head so she can see the concern in his brown eyes.

      Eddie is licking her hand, and she pats him reflexively. Good boy.

      Ken Thompson. What’s his name?

      Eddie. I’m Annie. It’s 2020, and that asshole is still President, right? she jokes.

      You aren’t concussed, Ken concurs. Can you stand?

      For you, I can fly.

      He blushes. She grins. Eddie sneezes.

      Chapter 2: B Street Booty Call

      Carlotta and Frederico are due onstage in approximately five minutes, and Frederico is about to cum. Carlotta had been teasing him all week during dress rehearsals about how much she wanted to ride his bologna pony and now, finally, he’s inside her, pounding to the beat of a techno remix version of Closer as she moans into the couch cushions. He isn’t sure how this will affect their performance, but the show is a mess anyway, so he figures they might as well enjoy themselves.

      Oh my god, I’m almost there, she groans into the sofa where dozens of fellow thespians have experienced similar pleasures.

      Spurred onwards by this admission, as well as the five minutes! curtain call hissed seconds later by the
