Standing at the entrance of the fighting gym, I felt like a tiny ant next to the heavy steel doors. The sounds of fists striking pads and rhythmic shouts of fighters seeped through the walls, making me a little nervous. The receptionist had made it very clear that parents were not allowed inside the gym proper because many parents get a little squeamish seeing their kids fight or hit or something similar, so here I was all alone. It was a little daunting task when I have had Steve and Kathy’s support…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

October 2007, Kloves Residence, London“Do you realize how stupid that move was?” Mum asked, her voice steeped in disappointment. “I thought you were better than this, Troy. Isolating yourself for the better part of the year is not cool.”I looked across the room at the other two occupants—Dad and Evan.The latter had wrapped up the joint production of the first two movies while I was away, and was now back in London, enjoying front-row seats to the lecture my parents had decided to deliver.“Do…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“What do you think has impacted the music industry the most in the last decade?”Arlen Brock already had hundreds of points he could raise as soon as he heard the question. He was a seasoned music critic, after all—one of the greatest, in fact. But since his audience wasn’t as knowledgeable as he was, he decided to dumb it down a bit and keep it generic.“Undoubtedly, sound mixing software that anyone can use,” he answered honestly before elaborating. “A decade or two ago, it was almost…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

I stood inside the semi-truck just as a crew member opened the door. I leaned lazily against the side, a determined expression on my face as I fired continuous shots at the car speeding beside us. I wouldn’t have been so lax about safety if they hadn’t secured me with ropes to the other side of the truck. Thanks to that, there was no risk of falling out—even if I wanted to.The gun in my hand was, as usual, a fake. It just emitted flashing lights—no actual gunshot sounds. Those would be added in…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

May 2007, New York City, NY, USA“Woah, this is crazy, Benji,” Oliver called out, clearly impressed as he ran a hand along the gleaming side of a silver Aston Martin. “Who would've thought you’d own one before your 20th birthday? And all because you were obsessed with another boy all these years.” He turned to Sophia with a smirk. “Talk about repressed homosexuality.”Sophia laughed, as if Oliver had just delivered a punchline. She leaned into his arm. “You’re too funny, Oliver.”Benji…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Stephen Daldry looked around the set, and sure enough, the atmosphere was quite cheery. It usually was on the last day of filming.All scenes involving other actors had already been shot, with the sole exception of this one, featuring Troy, who had only just returned from promoting his new movie and album.“So this is it, huh?” Connell, the first AD, remarked idly as they all waited for Troy Armitage.“It is,” Daldry agreed. “I have to say, it’s been a unique experience shooting this show. And…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

James Cameron was undoubtedly the biggest film director in the world. Not only did he make and , he also made , , , and . It was such a shame that, in my adult lifetime, he would dedicate himself solely to and its sequels.Initially, I had wanted to invest in the film series, but Fox had put their foot down. Apparently, they already had all the financiers they needed, and no one was willing to let me buy them out. They were all hoping for a miracle similar to Titanic, so no one wanted out. With that…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

April 2007, Los Angeles, CA, USA“I'll tell you why.”I looked from Evan to see Dad standing a few feet away with a neutral expression on his face.“They’re jealous of you.”“All of them are jealous of me?” I asked incredulously. “That doesn’t make much sense, Dad.”“Of course it does,” Dad said, emphasizing each word as he sat across from me. He then looked at Evan and added, “First of all, let me assure you, Evan, the film was edited masterfully. The way you built suspense and…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Steve drove over to the school with Kathy as fast as he could as soon as he received the call from Troy’s school.“Troy!” Kathy rushed over to her son and hugged him for dear life, only for him to groan in pain. She reluctantly separated from her son, only to see that Troy was holding his ribs painfully. His right eye was swollen shut, and despite his attempt to smile at her, He looked to be in a lot of pain. His right cheek was also slowly turning a darker shade.“Who did this?” Steve turned…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Krissy stuck her head out of the line and immediately paled. It was too long.“We’re fucked,” Zoe moaned, echoing Krissy’s sentiment. “We’re in this only because of you, Krissy.”“Hey! I resent that!”“You should,” Zoe shot back. “I don’t ask for much, but when I call you near midnight and tell you to do something the next day, you do it. I mean, you go on vacation and ask your best friend to book an early Troy Armitage album, and she sleeps through the entire day.”Krissy sighed.…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
