      DOS Ch-226 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “Are you okay, Troy?” Chris Nolan asked worriedly as soon as he saw me inside my trailer. “I was worried sick when I heard you were in the hospital. We can postpone this part of the shoot for a few months if you’re unwell.”“Nah, I’m as good as I can be,” I said assuredly in my Joker voice. “And remember, I am Frank, not Troy.”Chris sighed. “Back to being your character, huh? And Gary was boasting that he stomped that part out of you.”I cackled maniacally before licking my lips.…

      by Fable Weaver February 2009, London, UK Emma Watson felt like she was finally free after such a long time. As much as she loved the world, it was high time that she moved on. Her time at Oxford University had been some of the best of her life so far. That was another reason she was happy to leave behind. She had taken a year off from her education to finish the last movie, and now she could finally do what she wanted to. The grand ballroom sparkled with chandeliers and gold-trimmed walls, filled with laughter,…

      by Fable Weaver Steve drove over to the school with Kathy as fast as he could as soon as he received the call from Troy’s school.“Troy!” Kathy rushed over to her son and hugged him for dear life, only for him to groan in pain. She reluctantly separated from her son, only to see that Troy was holding his ribs painfully. His right eye was swollen shut, and despite his attempt to smile at her, He looked to be in a lot of pain. His right cheek was also slowly turning a darker shade.“Who did this?” Steve turned…

      by Fable Weaver “$1 million,” Mum replied.“Holy…” I stopped myself before Mum could intensify her gaze any more. “Didn’t Dad say that musical rights are cheaper?”“Your Dad doesn’t know everything.” Mum smiled, “It all depends on the perceived value of the product. While most musicals are cheaper compared to their movie counterparts, this will be more expensive than the original because its budget was too low and stage actors have their minimum wages set at a much higher rate than film actors.…

      DOS Ch-85

      DOS Ch-85 Cover
      by Fable Weaver Tobias was an alright fellow, I guess. I'm still a little miffed that his duties were curtailed to become more or less my babysitter by my mother. Not that I'd let him stay that way. Honestly, I'm surprised my mother let me hire him. No one can deny that it is past time that I got a team of my own, but hiring anyone new permanently meant a great reduction in my mother's duties, which she saw as me growing up. When I first floated the idea to her after receiving Tobias' email, she had literally cried. I…

      by Fable Weaver January 2005, Phoenix, ArizonaI took a generous amount of my special blend of face cream and carefully applied it to my skin. I like to think that I’m not that vain, but I have to maintain an image while going out. Although I’m not expecting paparazzi or reporters here in Phoenix, you never know.“I think you are overdoing it for this date,” Tobias commented from behind me.I looked at him through the mirror and said, “It’s not a date. Emily invited me to hang out with a group of her friends. I…

      by Fable Weaver November 2006, San Francisco, CA, USA“Thank you for flying all the way here for this meeting,” Eric Schmidt greeted our group warmly. “Honestly, I was a little surprised to learn that you owned YouTube, Troy. You’ve kept it carefully under wraps until now.”I shrugged casually. “It’s only a secret for two more months. Once I turn 18 in January, it’s bound to come out—or so my lawyers tell me.”“True.” Eric nodded before turning to the three founders beside me. “It’s a pleasure to…

She sighed before looking away, her shoulders sinking a little. “Not directly, of course, but…” When she didn’t say anything else, I stepped forward and gently took her hand in mine. We stood in the quiet dressing room, the hum of backstage activity muffled behind the closed door. “Hey, what is…
