The flight back home turned out to be rather anticlimactic. I had expected something noteworthy to happen, some kind of dramatic farewell or surprise, but nothing did. Julie sat beside me in first class, and we spent most of the time talking when we weren’t dozing off. The rest of the senior crew members, Randal, Nestor, and a few others, were seated in business class. My two friends, along with everyone else who wasn’t considered essential to the production, were tucked away in economy. It was a…- 165.3 K • Ongoing
- “Alright, cut!” Randal called for the last time that day. “We’re done with today’s shooting. If everything goes well, tomorrow will be our last day here in Fiji.” The crew burst into applause at his announcement, and honestly, I couldn’t have been happier myself. I had had enough of this island and just wanted to go back to a life of normalcy. Beside me, Julie Anne Smith, better known by her SAG name Julianne Moore, clapped with everyone else, sand crunching under her feet. “I can’t…

- “If you’ll all give me your attention.” Sean Cunningham raised a champagne glass high above his head. The room quieted almost instantly. Everyone turned towards him. Even I did the same, surprised to see how relaxed he looked. Sean was usually tight-shouldered and restless, always pacing or double checking something, so seeing him loose and smiling felt strange. I guess what they say about the filmmaking business is true. It’s a tiring job that wears people down. “I couldn’t have made…

- “I’ll miss you.” Daisy hugged me tightly for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, her fingers bunching into the back of my jacket as if she could anchor me in place. “Why do you have to go back at all?” “It’s just for a few months,” I assured her, rubbing her back gently. The airport moved around us with rolling suitcases and distant boarding announcements, but in that moment, it felt strangely quiet. “Once I’m done shooting that film, I’ll be back in LA, and this time…

- We lay there silently for hours, turning over every thirty minutes at the chime of the stopwatch. The sun bore down relentlessly, but the ocean breeze softened its sting. We applied sunscreen on most of our bodies ourselves, with the sole exception of our backs. Those, we hesitantly helped each other with, laughing awkwardly at first until the tension faded. I drifted off many times during the tanning period, the warmth of the sand and sun lulling me into brief naps. After the first few minutes, all of…

Scarlett nervously played with the hem of her dress as the car sped through the quiet neighborhood toward her mother’s home. The morning sunlight filtered through the window, highlighting the tension in her jaw. “Will you stop that already?” I gently pulled her hand toward me and interlaced her fingers with mine. “It’s not like I haven’t met your family. I love them, they love me, so what’s the problem?” “You haven’t met all of them,” she retorted. “Believe me, it’s gonna be…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- ~I believe That God lives on a planet called Kolob I believe That Jesus has his own planet as well And I believe That the Garden of Eden was in Jackson County, Missouri~ The crowd went wild as Troy, as Elder Price, clasped the hand of the African warlord, General Butt Fucking Naked, and launched into a full-blown dance on stage. Scarlett looked around the hall and saw people losing their shit all around her, clapping, cheering, and wiping tears of laughter from their eyes as they…

- AN: On public demand, I have changed the names of the twins to Atlas and Damian. This is final. _________________________________ I held the little baby close to my chest for the first time, and without anyone saying a word, tears filled my eyes. The world seemed too narrow to the warm weight in my arms. The lingering smell of baby products on his skin and the impossibly soft rhythm of his breathing against my heart were intoxicating. Atlas and Damian had finally grown enough that we were allowed…

- “You son of a bitch,” Peter said with a wide grin after placing the script of Risky Business on the table. “You really want to do everything yourself, don’t you? I thought you’d leave the behind-the-scenes work to Ash and me, but no… you wrote a script, and now you want to direct it too?” I chuckled and plucked the script back from him. “Not my fault you never managed to stick to one job long enough to master it. You tried everything and ended up doing nothing.” “I take offense to…
