<center>[[Start]]</center>
(color: "purple")[Since they first started, the Beatles have been my favorite band of all time. I know every word to every one of their songs and have gone to a ton of their concerts. I am so excited to go to their upcoming concert in Hollywood. It is going to be amazing. I am ready to] [[go!]]
(color:"green")[I walk backstage and see three different doors. I know some of them definitely lead to the opening acts’ rooms, but I just want to see Paul up close.]
[[I decide to go through the door on my left.]]
[[I keep walking down the hallway to see if there is bigger room, with an open door. ]]
(color:"blue")[While in the front pit, I see an secret, open stage door underneath a speaker. The security guard is turned away from me, leaving the door unattended. The rest of the audience is focused on the band onstage. Do i decide to...]

[[go through the secret door]]
[[wait it out and try my luck after the opening act]]
(color:"grey")[The secret door leads me right outside the Beatle's dressing room! I am beyond excited to be so close the them. Next to the door to their dressing room is a box that holds equipment. There is enough room inside the box for me to hide until the [[end]] of the show. ]
(color:"green")[I stay at the concert and listen to the beautiful sounds of the Beatles' music. After a while, I notice something is off about the ](link: "songs")[:(color:"red")["Let me take you down, cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about

(color:"green")[They seem to be a little distorted and weird. This isn't how they normally sound. When I get home I decide to start doing some] [[research]]
(color:"red")[I listen to some of their songs while I am home, and discover that there are hidden messages about Paul dying.I decide to investigate this further. I go out to]
[[stalk Paul.]]
[[the library to continue to research information about Paul]]

(color:"blue")[I get in my car and drive downtown. I can already hear all the people in the stadium where the concert is being held. The hype for this is too intense. I cannot wait until the Beatles take the stage. I park my car and head to the] [[stadium.]]
(color:"orange")[I hand my ticket stub to the man at the box office, something I've done for over 30 straight Beatles concerts, and walk into the concert venue in downtown Hollywood. The opening act is currently playing, but i could care less: I'm really here for my favorite Beatle, Paul McCartney, do I...]
[[Try and sneak backstage like I usually do]]

(color:"orange")[The door leads to another hallway. I walk down it, trying to see if any of the doors are unlocked. They are all locked. This is not good news for me because I really wanted to find Paul.I decide to go back to the..]
[[first hallway.]]
(color:"purple")[or]
[[Sadly, go back to the pit and watch the concert]]
(color:"pink")[As I am walking down the hall, I see all the clothes that the Beatles wear on stage. I can hear voices down the hall. Quietly as possible, I walk towards voices. I think one of them is Paul. I reach the door and it is unlocked. I decide to [[open]] it.]
(color:"blue")[I turn around and walk to the first hallway. As I am walking down the hall, I see all the clothes that the Beatles wear on stage. I can hear voices down the hall. Quietly as possible, I walk towards voices. I think one of them is Paul. I reach the door and it is unlocked. I decide to [[open]] it.]
(color:"maroon")[The room beyond the door is actually just empty and i am very disappointed. All I wanted was to see my role model, Paul McCartney. I decide to go back to the concert: I will]
[[wait it out and try my luck after the opening act]]
(color:"red")[Stalking Paul is going to take some planning. First I am going to have to find where he is, then I’ll have to get close enough to him to do some investigating. I decide to go]
[[back to the concert venue to see if they are preparing for their second concert night]]
[[to the restaurant that someone on the internet said they would go to this weekend]]
(color:"maroon")[I still think it is really weird that there are hidden messages in the music but that Paul seems to be exactly the same, I wonder if anything is up. Is Paul really dead and being replaced by someone or is this all in my head? Should I...]
[[stalk Paul.]]
[[Give this all up and go back to my normal life]]
(color:"turquoise")[This is a good first clue and explanation to their being something weird about Paul, but the difference is very small so I need more proof. I decide to keep doing some research. I want to know where Paul would have] [[gone]].
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_is_dead">More Research</a>
(color:"yellow")[I decide to look into where Paul has been seen recently. I look at all the paparazzi pictures of him and try to figure out when his appearance changed. I figure out that he definitely changed sometime in 1966. Having good proof from his music and from the difference in how her looks, I decide I need to do some better investigating and go out and] [[stalk Paul.]]

Even though Paul seemed weird that day, I don’t think there is anything real going on. My investigation was really exciting, but I am just glad that Paul is okay and has not died. He really is my favorite Beatles member. I can’t wait to go back to another concert.

(color:"magenta")[I go to the newspaper section and find pictures to compare Paul from a few years ago to Paul now. Something about the now and then pictures seem different somehow. Are they actually different or am I just seeing things. Upon giving the photos more thought I decide the pictures]

(color:"pink")[When I get to the concert venue, I notice that their van is still outside. This is a good sign. I park my car and walk up to the back door. I can hear them playing and practicing. They sound great. I am so happy I have found them.]
[[I decide to sit outside the door and listen to them for a while]]
[[I get my car and park it where I can see the van, and I wait until they are leave for the night]]
(color:"orange")[I get to the restaurant and they are not there. This was a waste of time and kind of frustrating. I guess I will have to check somewhere else. I decide to go] [[back to the concert venue to see if they are preparing for their second concert night]]

(color: "orange")[I could not believe what I was hearing. I was thinking the right thing this whole time. I can’t believe Paul is actually dead and this random guy is pretending to be him. This is unreal! They have been lying to their loyal fans this whole time. Paul is not really Paul; he is a] [[doppelganger!]]
(color:"blue")[I go home to my Paul shrine and contemplate what to do. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard. How is this even possible and what should I do about it?]
[[I call the Beatles record label to call them out]]
[[Go straight to the news company]]
(color:"yellow")[The Beatles label denies everything I am saying. They tell me to get over my Paul obsession and move on with my life, they hang up.]
[[I call back and threaten to go to the media]]
[[Get my proof and make my way to the label]]
(color:"green")[The news company is hesitant to believe me. I assure them I have proof and offer to show them. They ask me to come to their office immediately and not talk to anyone.]

[[I head to the label]]
[[Screw the label, I am going to release the info to the public]]
(color:"magenta")[I am sitting on the train headed towards the Beatle's record label company. I am very nervous for their reactions to my new discoveries. Will they shut me down completely or listen to what I have to say with little to no judgements? I hear the train start to slow as we come to my stop.]

I go to the LA Times office and ask to speak someone so I can show them my proof. I took a lot of convincing for anyone to even sit down and talk with me, but after a while someone finally agreed.

[[go straight to the Beatles and confront them]]
I go back to living my normal life. This is the weirdest thing ever. I can’t believe I found out this insane information about the Beatles. It is kind of cool that I am the only one that knows. I hope that one day I can tell people.
(color:"magenta")[I go back to the mansion and sneak around outside. I can see lights on inside, so I know they are home. I am sneaking around and try to get inside the house. As I am trying to get inside, someone grabs me from behind. It is a] [[security guard]].

[[that my evidence isn’t strong enough]]
(color:"orange")[I freak out. I do not want to be caught right now. I try to fight him off but I am not effective. He pins me down and puts me in handcuffs. He calls the police and I am arrested for trespassing. I call my mom from jail for her to come [[bail]] me out.]
(color:"grey")[My mom is furious. She doesn’t understand why I am so obsessed with this. I just want to find the truth. She insists that I stop but I refuse. The world deserves to know the truth, and I just need to be able to prove it. I refuse to [[stop.]]]
My family thinks I am literally insane. I don’t know why but they keep trying to get me to stop investigating and always tell me I am acting crazy. I come home one day and they are all gathered around the living room. They inform that they signed me into a mental hospital to cure my Beatles obsession.

(color:"pink")[When I tell the Beatles that I think Paul is a doppleganger they immediately get defensive. They tell their security guards to remove me from the premise. The security guard tries to pin me down but I try to fight him off. I yell that I know the truth. The security guard eventually cuffs me and I am sent to jail. I call my mom from jail to [[bail]] me out. ]
I get up to talk to the Beatles but I am too nervous to tell them. My evidence just is not good enough proof. I get to meet them, which is very cool, them I go back home, still bothered. I keep doing research and my mom gets concerned, she tells me to stop, but I refuse.

The Beatles label buys me out. I quit my investigation for the rest of my life. Part of my deal with them included front row tickets and backstage passes to every Beatles concert ever, and free airplane tickets to all the cities they play in. I get to live the rest of my life in comfort, going to tons of concerts.

Researching about Paul's doppleganger has exhausted me. I am no longer motivated to reveal possibly the biggest secret in the music industry's history.
