Game Show Host: Tonight on Guess My Secret, we will interview 5 guests who have secrets they don’t want anyone to know. These individuals are speaking on condition of anonymity. They are using pseudonyms, and we have altered their voices to further protect their identities. After you have heard all their stories, it’s your job to guess what they are afraid of and their unlikely occupation. Let’s get started.

Guest #1: No one should be afraid of this, but I am. When it’s just falling from the sky, it’s fine. But once people start making this with it, oh, I just hate it. They’re so... weird looking. The worst part, though, is when they start melting. They look so sad, and I just want to run and hide. I’ve got one secret. Can you guess what it is?

Guest #2: Oh boy. Where do I begin? I think it all started when I was three. My siblings would pop them right in front of me, and I’ve just never liked them. When they start to deflate and get all wrinkly, I can barely even touch them. My skin is crawling just thinking about it. To be honest, I’m not even sure how I make it through each work day, but somehow, I make it. I’ve got one secret. Can you guess what it is?

Guest #3: I think everyone is afraid of this, at least to some extent. The unknown... The finality, and the possibility of pain. No one likes pain. Except for a few weird people. But you’d think I’d have gotten over it by now. It’s weird. But I’ve got one secret. Can you guess what it is?

Guest #4: It’s just terrible. I love my job, don’t get me wrong. It’s one of the best jobs in the world, really. I can’t even begin to imagine how many others competed for my job. And to think I even saved Christmas one year? Some days I can hardly believe it, but there it is. It’s gone down in history. There’s one thing I hate, though, and it’s really hard to believe. Green is just fine, and so is blue. I’ve got one secret. Can you guess what it is?

Guest #5: It’s my favorite time of year. If the last guest thinks he has one of the best jobs in the world, then I’ve probably got the best job. Guest number 4 and I are actually in cahoots. If he saved Christmas one year, well then I’ve saved Christmas every year. Well, actually, Jesus saves Christmas, if I’m being completely honest. And He’ll save you too! But I digress. On with my little story. You’d never guess this in a million years. I’ll give you a little hint. I just stuff them all in my bag. It gets rather... crumbly in there by the end of the night. By now I’ll bet you’ve guessed who I am, and from there, my job is rather obvious, because it’s really one and the same. But I’ve got one secret. Can you guess what it is?

Game Show Host: Okay, contestants. Now that you’ve heard all their stories, it’s time to reveal the identities of our guests. Why don’t you all come out, and step forward one at a time. Guest number one?

Guest #1: Hi. My name is Steven. I’m afraid of snowman, and I own a ski resort with a snow play area.

Guest #2: Hello. My name is Sparkles. I’m afraid of balloons, and I’m a clown.

Guest #3: Hi. May name is Mitchel. I’m afraid of death, and I’m a mortician.

Guest #4: My name is Rudolph. I’m Santa’s lead reindeer, and I’m afraid of the color red.

Guest #5: My name is Kris Kringle. Better know as Santa. And I don’t like cookies.

Author’s Editorial Comment: Hello. My name is... oh wait. I can’t tell you that quite yet. But I’m afraid this travesty of a story just might end up being one of the skeletons in my closet...
