Narrator
It was going to be the show of the century.
There was a line eight blocks long outside the VR (virtual reality) theater that had been specially built to contain Ultrarama.
Narrator
Dot Hendriks had been in line since early the morning before, and so she was only a block or so from the still-unopened ticket-booth.
Her husband had come by from time to time, bringing snacks and drinks.
Dot was determined to get a pair of tickets.
Narrator
She turned to the man next to her.
Dot Henricks
“Got the time?”
Man in Line
“Five to nine.”
Dot Henricks
“That's what I thought.
That means the ticket-office opens in five minutes.”
Narrator
Dot rose on her tiptoes and squinted ahead.
Dot Henricks
“There must be five hundred people ahead of us.”
Man in Line
“They say the theater holds five thousand.”
Dot Henricks
“I know.
And that you get a unique, immersive VR adventure, no matter where you sit.
I can`t wait to experience it myself!"
Narrator
The man in line nodded.
Man in Line
“That goes for all of us.”
