(January 2006, London, UK)"It's good you came when you did," the middle-aged man sitting in front of Alan said with a small smile. "The most difficult part of treatment in this disease is the diagnosis. As I like to say, if you diagnose early, half the battle is already won. Today, I officially declare you completely cancer-free."Alan heaved a sigh of relief he hadn't realized he was holding. It had been a long and arduous battle, but he had finally overcome the disease he wouldn't have even known about,…- 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

Emily still found it hard to believe how dramatically her life had changed since meeting Troy. What had begun as a casual friendship with a global superstar had snowballed into something far greater, so much so that even she sometimes struggled to recognize her own life. In just the past year, she and Rob had filmed two back-to-back movies, each earning five million dollars. It was a staggering figure for actors their age, almost surreal. Yet, the films hadn’t even premiered, and there was no…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“Are you serious?” I asked incredulously. “They’re offering me a knighthood again? Despite everything?” William nodded minutely. “They are. But this time, you have to accept it if you say yes. You can’t back out at the last moment.” “Of course,” I agreed. “I have no quarrel with the Crown or the government now that they are doing the right thing. Don’t forget, if I pulled a stunt like that again, it would look bad on me because my reason for rejecting it has been fulfilled…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“Aunt Tiffany!” “Midget!” We hugged like long-lost lovers.It might seem a little out of character for me, but I cherished the idea of having a relative like an aunt or a cousin because I didn’t have any biological relatives beyond my mother. Tiffany was very cool with everything, at least the two times we met. I had only met her boyfriend, Beaumont, once, and that too was a brief encounter that didn’t go beyond exchanging pleasantries.“Are you trying to steal my woman?” Beau asked in a…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

With tensions at an all-time high, I was on the edge of my seat when Mum took my hand and squeezed gently. I turned to her in amazement because the camera was on me along with all the nominees, thus I had a smile fixed on my face, but she understood with a mere look what I was feeling deep down. ‘It’s okay,’ she mouthed and I was back to being my normal self instantly.I grinned at her and squeezed her hand back before turning to the stage where Hilary Swank had opened the envelope by now.“And then…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Evan grunted with great effort as he lifted the heavy barbell placed above him. His arms felt like wet noodles that could bend limply any damn time. The burn was real and he was ready to just give up.“One more rep, you shithead!” Troy yelled at him from above while spotting him. “Come on! You can do it!”That gave Evan just enough confidence to finish the rep. When he was finally done, Troy helped him rerack the weight before grinning widely.“That was great man!” Troy clasped his hand in a…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

I didn’t have the words to describe the feeling of winning my second Oscar before turning 18. On one hand, it felt unimaginably good holding the trophy; on the other, I knew I hadn’t created these songs on my own. In a way, this Oscar didn’t feel like it was fully mine. With these conflicting emotions swirling in my mind, I waited backstage for the next award.Usually, winners are ushered off to give interviews, but since I was nominated in another category immediately following this one, I had been…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
