STS Ch-53
“Holy shit! That was the best film I’ve ever seen!” Daisy shouted the second the screen faded to black. “Language!” Mom scolded, shooting Daisy a sharp look. “We talked about this, Daisy. You need to control how you express yourself better. You’re not a kid anymore.” Daisy rolled her eyes and gave Mom a defiant stare before turning to me, throwing her hands up in frustration. “See what I have to deal with? On top of schoolwork, Zach’s nonsense, and now Mom too. You and Zach say…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

I flipped through a business magazine as I waited patiently for my flight. “Who would’ve thought that Mr. Troy Armitage would be waiting for his flight just like any other normal person?” I turned toward my assistant with a raised eyebrow. “You’re saying that as if it’s my fault my private jet failed a safety inspection at the last moment and had to be grounded because of it. Or that all the other charter planes in the area were already booked today.” “You could’ve waited for two…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I certainly didn’t expect to be reshooting scenes for this movie right now, especially after you’ve sold it,” Julie commented idly as the crew around us finished preparing for the reshoots. The crew this time was a professional one, the same one that would be shooting in just a few days. As much as I wanted to shoot this myself and use the Harvard student crew, I couldn’t. I simply didn’t have the time to spare. As good as the film had turned out, it had taken numerous mistakes and retakes…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“I have to tell you something important,” I said somberly as I sat down in front of my girl. Not really. She was thousands of miles away, and we were talking through Skype. Still, it felt like we were sitting across from each other in our living room. It was the thought that mattered. She furrowed her brow at my tone. “Actually, I have to tell you something important, too. I was...forced to do something. I felt like I had no option at all.” The air seemed to thicken between us, neither of…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

A warm, almost hot sensation spread across my right cheek as Tiffany pressed the freshly waxed skin with her gloved hand. For a moment, the soothing pressure nearly made me relax, distracting me from what was happening behind me. Unfortunately, the next second brought me crashing back to reality. “Motherfucker!” I yelled, my fingers curling into fists as the lady behind me ripped away another strip with ruthless efficiency. “There, there,” Tiffany said calmly, her tone practiced and…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Ms. Schaffer will see you now,” Claudia’s assistant said, gesturing toward the office with a no-nonsense look in her eyes. I rose from my seat in the waiting area and walked toward Claudia’s corner office, enclosed by a massive glass wall that gave the place a very professional and chic vibe. I remembered having a similar office during my days working for a big firm in my first life. Times were different now, of course, but the atmosphere was exactly the same. The only real difference now was…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“You look tired,” said Michael Thorpe, my lawyer, his brows knitting as he studied me across the table. The conference room was quiet except for the noise of the air conditioner. “Everything alright?” “Yeah,” I replied, brushing off his concern with a wave of my hand. “Didn’t get much sleep last night. Nothing worth worrying about. Just tell me how the contract signing went so I can be on my way.” Michael chuckled under his breath and clapped a reassuring hand on my shoulder.…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

Me: Are you considering Ryan Gosling for one of the major roles in a franchise? Tobias: We’re in talks. Kevin offered him Hawkeye first, but Ryan’s ambitious and wanted a name movie, like Captain America. I declined that request since he isn’t American. After that, he agreed to do Thor. We’d have signed him already, but he’s asking for a higher salary than what you approved. Me: And why wasn’t I told about it? You know he’s a friend of mine. Tobias: Ryan asked us not to involve you.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
