Affecting the Future

Part 5, The Master Vision

The intern stepped into his office, her blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun at the back of her head. She smiled, walking up the desk of Nick Masters.

"Mr. Masters, these just came in for you." She said, placing the envelopes she had been carrying in her arms on the mans' desk.

He didn't even look up at her, just grunted, and waved a hand for her to leave. He was busy looking through the ratings that his network had brought in.

'These are horrible, we need something to boost ratings.' He looked down at the mail, and caught site of a piece of paper. On it said 'Acceleration Games'. He stares then flipped the paper over.

'Extreme sports, more extreme than the X-games, and the Pro skaters ever could be. Major boost in ratings, and a bigger watcher base. Make the unknowns famous, and the rich, richer.'

He grinned, then stood up, his chair rolling back on its wheels. 'Why not? Just think about it, extreme sports, people watching all the time for their favorite athlete... watcher base increasing, ratings shoot through the roof, why the hell not!'

He was about to run out to find that intern, but when he looked through the door way to call her back, she was gone.
