You may think me an actor; people come from all over the world to see me play my role. The play begins like all plays do – the red curtain draws aside, and I come onto the stage. There is one other actor. He is dressed in beautiful, bright clothing. I, however, am entirely naked. There are many acts in this play, in between which the other actor helps me to get dressed before the curtain reopens. He dresses me in colorful piercings and a red coat. The story we tell is a tragedy through dance. My choreography is straightforward, but if he forgets his then the play is over. Either way, I consider this a once in a lifetime performance. What role do I play?

You wake up naked and locked inside of a walk-in freezer. Brrrr! You only have so much time before you freeze and die. \n A steel pipe is sticking straight out of the floor. You look inside and see that the bottom is sealed, and sitting there at the bottom is the key to get out. \n Your wrist is too fat to fit inside the pipe. Tantalizing. Your killer must have mounted the pipe and then dropped the key inside as a joke. \n You look around the freezer to find anything else. All you find is a jar of salt and a glass pitcher of water that hasn't yet frozen. Markered on the pitcher of water are instructions: "dump this water on your head to turn into a cool popsicle"

One hand behind, no foot beneath. Always has jaws, sometimes has teeth. Might lean left, might lean right. Poke through the eyes to make it bite. Though it bites, it never eats. Seldom near blankets, often near sheets.
