People are everywhere, body slamming into each other as we try to rampage our way through the crowd. People seemed to line up behind me, my bog boned body leaving a passage way thick enough for the traffic to move a little faster. It was great, the attention people focused on me as I pushed through, my short legs trying to keep their balance as I was knock backwards and forwards and left and right. I hear people snicker, I see people pointing and laughing as my foot slips from under me sending me flying to the ground. Now most people might have blushed with embarrassment or be like 'the fuck' to the person next to them as if blaming them for this. But not me. I soak up the attention, the energy of the people finding pleasure in my actions and words come flying from my lips before I can stop them.

"Thats right, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I am here all week."

I smile widely before trying to get to my feet, rolling onto my stomach first before boosting myself off of the ground. Most people seemed surprised when i told them that I was a career and to be honest I had a hard time believing it. I mean I was a pro wrestler. I mastered the class and I loved it. I loved working with all the guys, and they loved working with me. It was great fun for us all and sometimes after training we would all go out for drinks and people would stare at us but we would all soak up the attention because let be honest, all of us wanted to be stars.

Now as I walk through the crowd I try to image big Barry's face, his cheeks dusted with a light coating of red as the bodies of beautiful woman brushed against him in attempts to get past. Barry was always the quiet guy. His shy gentle personality swamped by his huge intimidating appearance. If only the ladies new how much of a sweet heart he really is. The though leaves my face painted in a smile as I head towards my favourite food stand in the whole square, my mouth beginning to water at the though of a good hearty plate of bangers and mash. Simple but delicious.
