Reflection in a Mirror

Will waited for the applause to die down. It came out from each side of the arena as if they were at a football game. First, the participants stopped and waited patiently, looking up at the throne. When the crowd noticed that the participants were ready to begin, their applause finally died down. Will looked down at the now silent crowd and marveled at the sight. Thousands of individuals looked up at him for his final word. If he had thought this would have been his life two years ago, anyone would have told him to either get his mind out of the clouds, or to get himself committed. But here he was, waving his hand at the crowd and telling them to begin.
