It had taken me all night to pack my things. Zach and Daisy were clingy, bombarding me with so many questions that the first hour was spent answering them. “Which film are you auditioning for?”“Why didn’t you tell us?”“Does it make us less siblings that we have different fathers?”“Please don’t go. We’ll convince Dad in the morning.” I answered honestly since there was no point in hiding anything now. Eventually, they understood I had to leave. They helped me pack my essentials…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
June 2009, Phoenix Motion Pictures HQ (Formerly Sony Columbia) “We would love for you to continue working on the film,” Tobias said emphatically. He leaned forward in his chair, palms pressed together, as if trying to soften the blow. “You are a great director. But this is not the direction we want to go in.” Not satisfied with the answer, the man in question turned to me. Chris Columbus adjusted his glasses before giving me a frustrated look. “Believe me, Troy, this is the perfect…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- The moment I heard that name, I knew I had to do it. was undoubtedly the most outrageous yet funniest thing I had ever seen. I still remember watching it in London in the original timeline, having no clue what Mormonism was about, and laughing my ass off from the opening number to the encore. The creators had managed to explain the religion to the audience with absurd precision, wrapping facts in such absurdity that you couldn’t help but laugh. The funniest part was that the best jokes, the ones that…

- “Sam, this is my final selection,” Randal said, handing the list to the producer when they were alone in the room. “What do you think?” “I knew you’d include that Noah kid,” Samuel crowed. “What’s the deal? Is he sleeping with you, or do you want to sleep with him? Is that why you’re so insistent on him?” Randal, having grown a thick skin after years in Hollywood, simply rolled his eyes. “Imagine if we were auditioning for Emmeline and the girl took off her shirt. Would you…

- “Hey, Olive!” I called out, stepping out of the pool, dripping wet and wearing nothing but a pair of short swimming trunks that barely hid my modesty. The costume department had given me two options: long board shorts that hung past my knees, or something on the shorter side. I’d gone with the latter. If I were going to do fan service, I might as well commit to it properly. “You left your glass slipper at the party the other night,” I said, toweling myself off slowly. “Yeah, and I got…

- (Chapter 1: Prologue) “Don’t worry, mister,” a panicked man shouted as he ran toward me. “I’ve called an ambulance. Everything’s going to be okay.” I scoffed weakly, even as pain screamed through every nerve in my body. Nothing was going to save me now. I lay sprawled on the asphalt, half my body crushed beneath the massive wheel of a delivery truck. The smell of burnt rubber mixed with gasoline hung heavy in the air, and somewhere nearby, a car horn kept blaring nonstop, as if…

- AN: Before you start reading, keep in mind that this story has not been edited, so there may be many more grammatical or factual mistakes than you’d find in my other works. ________________________ “So it finally happened, huh?” I said as I opened my eyes again. The first thing to note was that the ever-present ache in my chest was finally gone. Another thing was that it didn’t hurt at all to stand on my own two feet like it did for the majority of my life. Then I finally took in my…

- (Chapter 5) I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you…

- “Listen,” Taylor turned to me with utmost sincerity. “Have you ever worked with or served any celebrity before?” I shook my head, not wanting to tell him about Amanda Bynes. The less your employer knows about your other jobs, the better it is. “Then get ready,” he warned me. “We have multiple reservations this afternoon for the VIP section, and we’re a little short on the staff, so you’ll have to take over the duty. I guess you are experienced enough now to handle the big clients.…

- “What is it?” Emily looked between Benji and me curiously. “What happened?” Benji opened his mouth to answer her, but I cut him off. “Nothing of importance. You will find out soon enough. For now, let's meet the cast quickly. I have to get my body spray-painted for today’s scene, which will take some extra time.” Emily pouted, though she didn't argue, and led me toward a lounge area on the other side of the set. The space felt relaxed, with the cast members lounging on couches and…
