Evan looked at his brother from a distance, and for a moment, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Gone was the superstar who made women swoon across half the world. His posture was straight and decisive, his footing sure and confident, his hair slicked back perfectly, his face clean-shaven. The most noticeable difference was in his physique, which was thinner, yet radiated a kind of power that hadn’t been there just a month ago. “What the fuck happened to him?” he muttered to no one in…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- "Okay," Chris came into view after setting up the scene, "Julie, you and the kids will come from the direction I came." He then pointed towards the pillar where we were shooting, "Troy, you'd be standing here, facing towards that pillar, and will rush to them with your trolley. After your dialogue, you'll run towards the pillar and will stop at that point where you can see the little green cross, okay?"I nodded in understanding. As per the scene, I had to go through the pillar, but that was not exactly…

“Uuhh!” I grunted with great effort as I lifted the barbell one last time before reracking it. “Holy moly. That was out of this world, Cal!” Hugo, my brother-in-law, bumped fists with me excitedly. I had a feeling that if I hadn’t been drenched in sweat, he might’ve hugged me too. I nodded, lacking the strength to reply, and grabbed my water bottle, taking several deep gulps. “How the heck did you do it?” he asked. “From never lifting weights to pushing a hundred pounds in just…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
- “Troy,” Peter, my dance instructor, called out to me when the class was over, “Is by any chance any of your parents here to pick you up?”That question sent a shiver down my spine. After all his full name is Peter Darling. Who in their right mind would continue using such a horrendous family name?“Yes, usually my Mum comes.” I answered with uncertainty, “She must be waiting outside. Is there a problem?”While I didn’t show anything on my face, I was ready to run away and shout at a moment's…

- Standing at the entrance of the fighting gym, I felt like a tiny ant next to the heavy steel doors. The sounds of fists striking pads and rhythmic shouts of fighters seeped through the walls, making me a little nervous. The receptionist had made it very clear that parents were not allowed inside the gym proper because many parents get a little squeamish seeing their kids fight or hit or something similar, so here I was all alone. It was a little daunting task when I have had Steve and Kathy’s support…

- “Do you agree to these conditions as laid out by this contract and the remuneration of $250,000?” A judge asked me with an almost incredulous expression on his face. Asshole. He didn’t have to state my compensation for the Sixth Sense out loud. He was probably jealous that I, a 9-year-old, was earning from this movie more than what he probably earned for an entire year. Steve and Kathy took quite some time negotiating my remuneration with the producers. At first, they were offering me only…

- Moving to L.A. was hectic. To start things off, we had to complete my official adoption and file the papers with the authorities. I decided to keep my original name, Troy Francis Armitage to honor my late father Frank Armitage. Then we had to get a passport and visa for me. As Steve was a US citizen, it wasn’t too difficult to get a visa. At one point, Steve suggested that I give up my British citizenship and become a full-fledged American, but I was hesitant. Thankfully, Kathy…

- I walked slowly in trepidation as our little apartment got closer. It was a 3-bedroom apartment that, thankfully, my father had bought in cash before his death or we’d probably have to move to a smaller home by now. I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen today. It usually does when I have a superb day at school. Yes, I was still going to elementary school. I won’t risk my education because of some bad parenting. I know that I don’t need school (at least not elementary school) with the…

- “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 honking would somehow remove…

- Austin couldn’t be happier about the surprise that happened at Rihanna’s concert. He didn’t even like Rihanna that much and only went because his girlfriend forced him to. Since he had a camcorder, he was relegated to being the unofficial event videographer. Now, he had something exclusive on his memory card that could be worth a fortune.“You can’t sell it,” Bree, his girlfriend, pointed out. “It would violate so many copyright laws. You never had their permission to record or distribute the…
