For the past few days, he had been doing this every few hours, hoping that somehow, somewhere, a stray ticket might appear. “Leave it,” Marissa said from beside him, lounging on the couch with her phone in hand. “It’s no use. You just weren’t lucky enough to get the seats. Accept it.” Austin shot her a glare sharp enough to…

Most films would have wrapped up by now, yet this one still had several major plot points left to cover. The strange thing was that not for a second had Rod felt bored or thought the film was too long.

Bill, the editor of Friday the 13th, leaned back in his chair with the kind of pride only a veteran could carry. The small editing room around us was the first time I had been in a setup like this, and I was beyond excited to learn something new. Reels of film were stacked in metal cans along the walls, giving the place a faint smell of celluloid and dust. “Film editing is the most crucial part of making a movie,” Bill said passionately. His voice echoed a little in the cramped space. “I can’t…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

The Joker turned to her, smiling wider than before, and launched into yet another unsettling monologue. “Do you know how I got these scars? I had a wife once,” he began. “She was beautiful, just like you. She used to tell me I should worry less. Smile more.” He spoke softly at first, recounting how his wife had been scarred by loan sharks,…
