Benji was more than a little excited to see the upcoming movie starring two of his good friends, Troy and Emily. It was such a strange feeling seeing Emily finally living her dream of becoming an actress. If Benji wanted to, he could have asked Troy for a similar favor, and Troy, being such a good person, would have gladly helped Benji become an actor. However, Benji was utterly talentless when it came to acting or singing. He didn’t even have the desire to pursue such a career and was content staying…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- With tensions at an all-time high, I was on the edge of my seat when Mum took my hand and squeezed gently. I turned to her in amazement because the camera was on me along with all the nominees, thus I had a smile fixed on my face, but she understood with a mere look what I was feeling deep down. ‘It’s okay,’ she mouthed and I was back to being my normal self instantly.I grinned at her and squeezed her hand back before turning to the stage where Hilary Swank had opened the envelope by now.“And then…

“So, how is it?” the man asked with a wide grin as he slid into the passenger seat while I eased the car into my driveway. “It’s great,” I said honestly, turning off the engine. “It glides like butter melting in a pan. But if I’m completely honest, it can’t beat my 911 Turbo.” I stepped out of the red car and shut the door gently, almost reverently. Even if it was the lesser variant, it needed to be treated with care. A few feet away, parked neatly in the driveway, stood my silver…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

The fact that I was recognized by three different people on my flight because of ‘the upcoming Bruce Willis movie’ showed that Disney’s promotion strategy was working wonderfully.At the end of the day, it was about the number of people who were aware of the film.

- “Get up, Noah! I have things to do.” A pillow was hurled at my head, jolting me awake. I blinked blearily, trying to process what was happening, only to see my Daddy dearest. My second father if I consider my first life as well. (Or should that be third, considering that asshole Poseidon?) “Yeah, Dad,” I mumbled, forcing myself up from my too-cramped bed. Why did I have to ask to be tall? And why did Poseidon make me 6’2”? Why not a nice, even 6’? “Here’s what you’ll do…

- “Damn,” Ash whistled softly as he took in the stream of girl groups walking past us. The late summer air was filled with the excitement of students returning after the break or freshmen starting a new chapter in their lives. “Now I regret not coming to college. Just look at those chicks go. The sway in their step is enough to wreck my heart.” Julie turned to me, one eyebrow arched. “Did I ever tell you that you have a pig for a friend?” I snorted. “Believe me, this is very tame behavior…

- “Noah! Care to give us a comment about your sex scandal?” “Do you like having sex on a public beach?!” “Are you a nudist?” “Does it turn you on to have other people watch you in the act?” “Who was that girl you made a woman out of?” A million other deliberately provocative questions were thrown my way, and I won’t lie, their strategy was working. I was this close to reaching out and punching someone in the teeth for shouting such bullshit while I was getting…

- “What the fuck happened to you?” David Crane didn’t bother with a greeting as soon as I stepped into the office he shared with Marta Kauffman. Both of them were in their mid-to-late thirties. David’s receding hairline exaggerated his already large forehead, and his glasses kept sliding down his nose. Marta sat beside him, a beautiful, homely woman with kind eyes and a fuller figure that gave her a comforting presence. “What do you mean, exactly?” I asked, genuinely confused. Then I…

- “This is the best film to come out of Harvard ever, short films included,” Robert Gardner, my filmmaking teacher at Harvard, said enthusiastically while crushing me in a tight hug. “Seriously, Noah, you've done more for the filmmaking course at Harvard than all the other students combined.” “Thank you, Mr. Gardner,” I said, a little embarrassed by his excessive praise when some of my fellow filmmaking students were standing right beside me. I separated from him a moment later and pointed…
