“It’s okay, Cole. My name is Dr. Malcolm Crowe.” Malcolm interrupted my muttering of a Latin phrase while I remained crouched on a church bench, playing with toy soldiers. I gave him a sidelong glance but remained quiet.“I was supposed to meet today. Sorry, I missed our appointment.” With that Malcolm slowly sat in the seat in front of me. I kept playing with the soldiers, fully in character, and placed a few on the edge of the bench.“Your eye frames.” Malcolm pointed out, “They don’t…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

My last award worth talking about was a Tony, and that was nearly four years ago. I can't really describe the feeling in words, but I felt like I was on top of the world. While the Golden Globes don't guarantee an Oscar win, they certainly mean that I've become a serious contender for the award now."Troy to Earth!" Mum called out to me. "Come on, son,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Still, I agreed to Emily’s request for reasons that I couldn’t fathom.But it wasn’t meant to be. As if some divine power was watching over me, I got a call from Emma right at the moment when Emily was about to kiss…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
