@SereneDreamer: If you still think Troy’s wrong, then it’s obvious you’re missing a few brain cells. You wouldn’t blame a bookie for making money off the loss of your favorite team. Sure, Troy made money, but at least he’s giving back to charity instead of hoarding it. Most of you have no idea how much $4 billion actually is. No other billionaire has ever made such a generous donation. This will probably go in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest donation ever. @NovaKnight: Love…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-68
“Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…- 192.9 K • Ongoing

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…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

Silence. Dead silence was what I faced when my first commercial was finally seen by my family. I would have accepted shouting, berating, hell, even physical violence over this.Evan, the smartest one of all, had the presence of mind to get up, walk over to me, pat my back sympathetically (while barely concealing his laughter from me), and then go to his room.Still, my parents didn’t say anything for a few minutes, making me utterly uncomfortable.“So?” I prodded when the silence became too…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

"Bullshit!""Troy," Dad and Mum said my name in unison. Dad's voice carried a weariness that matched the late hour, while Mum's was sharp with a warning edge, the kind that always made me pause."What!?" I shot back, my frustration spilling over. "You know I'm right. They agreed to a 5% share of the musical only because I said I'd share my salary with my co-actors. And now they want a win-win situation for them? Forget it, we'll contact other studios for the musical, and is on hold till then. Did you get…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

(Flashback)"There are two films in particular that I loved more than the others. The first one is called ," Benji announced. "It's a hard R-rated teen comedy, even worse than when it comes to vulgar jokes. Reading it, I felt like a schoolboy had written it—it's that accurate to what actually happens in American high schools. And the humor? Out of this world. I nearly died laughing just from reading it."I was speechless. I absolutely loved . I had to do it at all costs. Benji was right—the movie…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-7
“You’re lucky to even be considered for this role,” Paige said over the phone. “Of course,” I replied with exaggerated sadness. “Why would they consider this poor nobody?” “Don’t take it the wrong way,” Paige quickly explained. “I’m not doubting you. It’s just that the number of superstars they considered, and who turned it down, is too many to count.” “It says a lot about the quality of the film that so many superstars passed on it,” I joked. “True,” Paige…- 192.9 K • Ongoing
