      DOS Ch-131

      DOS Ch-131 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “Troy, what was the name of that restaurant we went to last time here?”I silently kept reading the screenplay in the back of our car.“Do you remember when we snorkeled on that island we booked a few years ago? That was fun, wasn’t it?”I shot a deadpan stare at my mother, only to receive a mischievous grin in return. She had decided in her utmost wisdom to try to make me break character. After the first day, it had become a game of sorts between us, one I was oddly enjoying—but I wouldn’t let…

      by Fable Weaver The three men sitting in front of me, all wearing confident grins, made it clear that this negotiation wouldn’t be easy.“I think half a million would be the perfect remuneration for you,” David Friendly, the man on the far left, said. He was in his fifties, with a stocky build and a round face.“Absolutely,” Peter Saraf, seated in the middle, agreed. He looked similar to David in terms of age and build. “You know we only have an $8 million budget after accounting for state subsidies. So half a…

      by Fable Weaver “Maintain your note for ten seconds, then give a pause for five then continue with next. Start with C, then C-sharp, D, D-sharp, and so on till you reach F-sharp.” Mr. Tanner instructed. I cleared my throat for good measure and began my practice. Practicing vocals with a coach was so much different from working alone. My previous coach didn’t have much experience with singing herself. She covered the basics of notes and voice pitch well enough but after that, even I with my limited experience…

      by Fable Weaver May 2005, LondonEvan was excited. It was the last day of filming his very first film. True, he hadn’t directed the film himself as he wanted to, but he’d written the script and directed a few songs for it. For now, that was more than enough. Usually, he didn’t skip classes to go to the set, but today was different. He had gotten permission from his foster parents to witness the final day of filming. With his current plan, he would be eligible to direct his first film in four years, as per the…

      DOS Ch-127 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “I just want to talk to her, Jackie,” Troy said emphatically.“And I told you that she is studying for her mock exams,” Emma’s mother retorted. “Why can’t you come back in a few weeks when she’s done with all her exams rather than disturbing her right now with…whatever this is?”From what Emma could gather, her mother wasn’t too happy with Troy at the moment and wasn’t shy about showing her disapproval. With the way their breakup had affected Emma, it made sense. Troy hadn’t said…

      by Fable Weaver April 2005, LondonThe ride back home was tense and filled with silence. I wanted to say so much to Emily, but the words wouldn’t come. What could I even say to her? I had no idea. From the way she kept glancing at me out of the corner of her eye, I knew she had sensed that something had shifted between us.When the car finally stopped at our destination, I got out as quickly as I could. I wanted to head straight to my room to avoid any uncomfortable conversations, but fate had other plans. BARKMy dearest…

      DOS Ch-125 Cover
      by Fable Weaver The shooting for the day was yet to begin, and since we were filming outdoors, I decided to check some of my financials in the meantime. The report from my business manager, Andrew Cohen, had been more than encouraging. Thanks to my active involvement in Crocs, their business was booming. The 2004 revenue had already reached $250 million, and it would almost certainly cross $500 million in 2005. I laughed inwardly, knowing that the company founders were probably regretting their lack of foresight in…

      by Fable Weaver March 2005, Kloves Residence, London“I swear, I’m not producing another movie for years to come,” I said with utmost seriousness. “At least not with so much of my direct involvement in the process. I don’t know what I would have done had you not helped me with this, Dad.”“Now you’re just being dramatic,” Dad replied. “I’m sure you would’ve been fine. At most it would have been postponed a little because of Tobias’ absence.”That was sort of true. Because of his sister’s…

      by Fable Weaver Benji Cooper felt more than pumped to see Troy’s new film. While he had been in contact with Troy, it was difficult to talk to him regularly because they were in different time zones. It didn’t help that Troy was super busy most of the time and could hardly spare more than a few minutes to chat. Seeing Troy’s first non-Harry Potter movie in four years was an event Benji couldn’t miss.It had been difficult for him to get the tickets, but he eventually succeeded. Reading comments on the internet,…
