“Troy,” Peter, my dance instructor, called out to me when the class was over, “Is by any chance any of your parents here to pick you up?”That question sent a shiver down my spine. After all his full name is Peter Darling. Who in their right mind would continue using such a horrendous family name?“Yes, usually my Mum comes.” I answered with uncertainty, “She must be waiting outside. Is there a problem?”While I didn’t show anything on my face, I was ready to run away and shout at a moment's…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

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…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

I stood inside the semi-truck just as a crew member opened the door. I leaned lazily against the side, a determined expression on my face as I fired continuous shots at the car speeding beside us. I wouldn’t have been so lax about safety if they hadn’t secured me with ropes to the other side of the truck. Thanks to that, there was no risk of falling out—even if I wanted to.The gun in my hand was, as usual, a fake. It just emitted flashing lights—no actual gunshot sounds. Those would be added in…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“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…- 199.4 K • Ongoing
