DOS Ch-271
Imogen Poots glanced around the set nervously, her eyes darting to the cluster of uniformed security guards stationed at various corners. They moved with precision, checking every crew member’s ID and scanning the perimeter as if expecting trouble at any moment. She turned to Jamie Bell, who stood beside her with his hands casually stuffed in his jacket pockets. “Is this…the new normal around Troy?” she asked quietly. Jamie followed her gaze, watching as one guard paused to inspect a lighting…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Steven Spielberg was quite a busy man whenever he was working on a film, which was usually the case. People called him a workaholic; he called himself motivated—something that most people lack nowadays, especially the younger generation who has never seen the difficulties the older generation had to face. Many people ask him why there aren’t as many young visionary directors as there were in Steven’s time. The answer is simple. People are content with their lives of mediocrity. They don’t strive to…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Hello! I’m Troy.” I shook hands with the man who had an eerie resemblance to me. He was slightly taller than me but had the same build and hair color. One major difference was the age. The man was eight years my senior.“Of course, who wouldn’t know you,” he beamed at me while shaking my hand vigorously. “I’m Raymond Clark, but you can call me Ray. My siblings, who are much younger than me, are huge fans of yours. We were having a ‘Troy Marathon’ last week where we watched all your…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Emily felt overdressed. Looking down at her beautiful floor-length royal blue dress, she couldn’t help but feel like an impostor. She couldn’t have afforded that dress even in her dreams. Her mom had talked to a designer friend to rent a dress for a few days, but even that was costing more than what Emily received for shooting . Then Troy came like a knight in shining armor and hooked her up with a designer who got her a new dress. Emily hadn’t even mentioned the dress issue to him, but Troy just…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

(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,…- 1.0 M • 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…- 1.0 M • 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…- 1.0 M • 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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
