Norman was excited. Norman was venturing out of his comfort zone. Norman was about to do something with his life. Norman decided to apply to go to Mars.
Okay, actually, Norman was kind of freaked out. This was so unlike him, but going to Mars? He would be able to tell the best stories in the break room at work. Maybe he would even start a space club! No, that’s stupid. Adults don’t have clubs, do they? Oh! A space-themed book club! He could even host the book club at his house. He could keep extra Cokes in his refrigerator for the group. Maybe he could even write a book and title it “Norman Goes to Mars.” Maybe it would even be a best seller. He wonders if they would let him take Norman with him. A cat on Mars; now there’s a story for the book!
No, of course they wouldn’t let him take Norman. That settled it, then. Norman took on a responsibility that he would not abandon, not even for a trip to Mars and a space-themed book club. This is for the best, though, thought Norman. He would feel guilty leaving his work group to pick up his tasks while he was on Mars.
Norman almost watched X-Files instead of CSI that night.
