     Knock knock.

I hear knocking on the door.

-Who's there?

-Me.

-Funny, very funny. Who is it?

-it's me. Muse.

-

-

-

(thinking in progress…)

-

-

-What do you want?

-To come in?

-There is nobody here.

-There is you.

-I didn't invite you.

-Are you sure?

-

-

-

(thinking in progress…)

-

-

-Did I?

-Yes, last summer, when you wanted to write the letter to that lovely lady, forgot her name.

-Yeh, me too. Wait. If I invited you last summer, why only now?

-Bad connection. The lines were out for two months and then I had to come to some others first.

-What lines?

-The lines of abundance.

-They do exist?

-Sure. Almost all of them initiate in the bank of England. But there are some other initiators.

-Ah, that abundance.

-Well, there are other kind of abundance lines too, of course, but lately they are hardly used, because there is very law demand.

-Hmm. OK. Understood that. But why you didn't come to me first? Why all others?

-They were before.

-Before me?

-No, before me. I saw them and stoped.

-Never mind it. So you can help me?

-Of course.

-Good, come in

Click, click #2, click #3+4, door bar away, and the Muse comes in.

-So what do you want?

-Oh, very important thing. I have to write a CV.

-CV?

-Yes,

-Oh,

-What?

-I'm sorry.

-What? What happens?

-You see, I am a regular Muse. Like Muse for writing the letters, stories, novels. But for CV, I myself use the CV Muse.

-Why do you need a CV?

-Everybody needs.

-But you are a Muse!

-Yeh, yeh. Did you try to live on Muse salary? It's impossible. I have to work other jobs too.

-Yes? What other jobs do you do?

-Like writing critics.

-Wait! You are making laugh of me.

-No, really. I mostly work as literary critic.

-Where did you work lately?

-In Local Quest paper.

-Mmmm.. (Coughing strongly)

-What happened?

-Is it you that critisized my story so much that my wife divorsed me?

-Did she really? What a clever girl. .. Stop! Stop choking me! I just did my job!.

-And now you come to me as a Muse?

-Yes.

-Why?

-I promise that if you will take my help, the critics won't be able to say something bad about your writing.

-So, this is the way Muse works!
