The Tale of the Fate's Stage [video; anon by proxy]

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[A blank wall. Or a backdrop. Suddenly, the shadow of a girl with a jaunty ponytail, wearing a short skirt and puff-sleeve blouse, marches into view.]

Extra! Extra!

[Suddenly, she reappears wearing a long gown. A hand is pressed to her forehead in despair.]

Alas! I have traveled the world, played upon stages far and near. And yet fame still alludes me!

[Fingers claw at the sky.]

Oh! Why does no one understand my true genius? What will it take to become a star!?

[And now she is a cloaked crone, hunched over and speaking with an affected voice.]

But stardom is not the life I've spun for you, young one. Your life will be plagued with normalcy and mediocrity!

[The crone holds up a long, knotted thread. She ducks out of view and reappears as the actress, racing away with the thread clutched triumphantly.]

We'll see about that!

[She disappears off one side of the screen. Reappears on the other as the crone, furiously wielding a pair of scissors like a weapon.]

Give that back! You have no right! And no talent!

[Again she disappears and reappears on the other side as the actress.]

But it's my destiny!

[She pauses center stage and holds up her hands, which have become hopelessly tangled in the string.]

Is anybody good with knots?
