It's Saturday night at the local pub, and the owner is trying something new: mandatory karaoke night. Good news is, drinks are free. Bad news is, you have to sing a song to get one. Do you dare?

"Hey, if you get the chance, you should take it," she said. "It'd suck if you were left here twice."

"Yeah. That would suck. I mean, considering how I wound up here, who even knows how much of a choice I'd really have about leaving anyway?"
