The camera shows Sarah Lynn in the Dayroom sitting on a chair reading a book. She puts the book on to her lap.
Sarah Lynn: In the story of Oliver there’s a character known as “The Artful Dodger”. For a very long time now I’ve heard whispers in this place that say Sarah Lynn makes good points in her matches, but she doesn’t have what it takes to make the big money n professional wrestling. She doesn’t have the character, she doesn’t have the memorable nickname, she doesn’t have the big catchphrase. Up to now if you asked me why I didn’t have any of that I would have said it was because I felt like I didn’t need it. However after reading this book I’ve been reminded of another interesting story from my days of training to become a professional wrestler. I learned from men and women who weren’t afraid to call themselves things like “The Very Good”, “Up All Night”, “Insane”, “Crazy”, and there was even a wrestler who called himself “Sideshow”. I remember other trainees ad trainers saying they wanted to be the insane clown of a company, they wanted to be treated like they were the dog of the company, others wanted to be treated like the doctor, dentist, ring crew, nurse and anything else that their minds could think of.
Sarah Lynn takes a deep breath.
Sarah Lynn: Some of those people became bigger names in professional wrestling while others never left the training stage. But I’m going to give them all their praise because the fact of the matter is I was wrong. I should have listened and been prepared for anything. So I guess the next question is what would my nickname be? Well, I’m in an asylum because of an unlucky moment so does that make me an “Unlucky” Sarah Lynn? That sounds awful. What about “Bad luck” Sarah Lynn? No, I don’t like that either. I was charged with assault so how about “The Assault Artist” Sarah Lynn? Doesn’t sound as bad but it’s not who I believe that I am. If I’m going to call myself something, then it needs to be because I believe that I am it.
Sarah Lynn stops talking for a few seconds.
Sarah Lynn: An accidental moment caused me to come in here. People would call that moment, fate. I don’t like fate therefore I want to change it so that one day I leave here saying that I was innocent. Does that make me a fate changer? How does “The Changer Of Fate” Sarah Lynn sound. Well, it definitely sounds more like who I am and what I believe in. But how does it sound in a wrestling context? Abby on the next episode of Sanatorium I’m going to defeat you changing your fate of making up for how badly you’ve done so far. I feel like it needs work, but I can adapt to it. You just have to look at superheroes they didn’t just put on a costume and just start flying. They had to practice and get used to it the changes before it truly became who they were.
Sarah Lynn smiles.
Sarah Lynn: Abby I’m not saying that I’m a superhero, I’m saying that I’m going to be the reason why your next match ends with you being pinned by me. Afterwards you’re going to be seen by everyone moaning, crying, screaming, and begging for your fate to be changed. The only problem is I as a fate changer will want to see you suffer more until you’re at the level of John Blade. Fate changer? “The Fate Changer” Sarah Lynn? I think I prefer that. So what if I say something like I’m the fate changer and I’m going to change your fate”? Sounds a bit generic but I can change it and work with it.
Sarah Lynn looks around the dayroom.
Sarah Lynn: Is there anything else that I’m missing? Oh, I know, another thing I learned from my days at training was you need to show ruthless aggression. You can’t just be someone who wants to put on a good match. No, you need to go out there with a desire to want to hurt your opponent like a bulldog would. You need to be willing to bite opponents, you need to be willing to bark at them and most importantly you have to remember that your spot on any roster in any company is your territory and you’ve got to protect it because you don’t want the next in line new signing to take your spot and go further up the card.
Sarah Lynn thinks.
Sarah Lynn: Abby I want you to know that I am the dog who is forever attacking. I can protect my spot on Sanatorium, something that I really don’t believe that you can do. I don’t know how long you’ve been here for, but you really do come across as weak. I on the other hand Abby aren’t afraid to adapt. Sarah Lynn: Hmm adapt is a funny word isn’t it Abby? Up to now, I’ve not been afraid to admit that I don’t like barbed wire and handicap matches. Maybe I need to find a way to turn enemies into friends in the future. Maybe after I defeat you I need to find somebody or a group of people who aren’t afraid of getting their hands really dirty so that I can test my real limits. What about you Abby? I wonder what scares you? I wonder if you would face your fears just to prove that you belong not just in the asylum, not just on Sanatorium, not just in WWH but in this world? I honestly don’t think that you would face them.
Sarah Lynn laughs.
Sarah Lynn: Abby to change fate you’ve got to risk losing everything. I did and now I feel like you’re making a mistake by facing me.
