“We’re live here at Trafalgar Square for the premiere of the most awaited film in the biggest movie franchise in the world, !” the female host announced excitedly, her voice rising above the roar of the crowd. “I’m Robin Myers, your host tonight. Let’s meet some of our fans and see what they think.” The camera followed as Robin weaved through the tightly packed crowd, stopping in front of a small group pressed against the barricades, their faces painted and scarves wrapped tightly around…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
(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…- 20.0 K • Ongoing
- (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…

- “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.…

- 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…

- Sundar Pichai adjusted his glasses and straightened in his chair just as the camera light flicked on, signaling the start of the recording. “Thank you for agreeing to this conversation, Sundar,” the woman seated across from him, Prim, said warmly. “We’re interviewing you today for young and emerging entrepreneurs around the world.” “The pleasure’s all mine,” he replied with an easy smile. “Tell us how you reached this point,” she continued. “Today, Phoenix isn’t just one of…

- ~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.

- “Tell me honestly, kid, did you really write it by yourself?” Al Pacino asked, wonder creeping into his voice as he studied my face. I nodded, a grin spreading across my face. “Of course. I just had this idea while I was writing my first script. I made a few major mistakes in it, which meant I had to do some serious rewrites. At some point, I started wondering what it would be like if I could go back in time and do it all again. Then I thought, what if I made another mistake the second time too? I…

- May 2010, New York City, New York “How are things?” I asked casually. Judging by the eager faces around the table, things were good. At the very least, no one looked worried. The meeting itself was informal by design. No one wore suits, and the whole vibe was chill. I preferred it that way, no rigid agendas, no stiff presentations. Just people talking honestly. “Things are great,” Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, said with barely contained excitement. “We’re finally profitable.” I…

- “You were marvelous in the show,” the old man said, pulling me into a warm, lingering hug. “This is hands down my favorite musical of the 21st century.” “Thank you, Steven,” I said sincerely once he let go. “Man, it’s been so long since we last met.” “It has,” Steven Spielberg agreed with a fond smile. “And even longer since we worked together.” “True,” I said, gesturing for him to take the seat opposite me in my far-too cramped changing room. That was the life of a…
