STS Ch-5
As soon as I heard the name of the film, I recognized it. I had seen the original version, and it was…terrible. There’s no other word for it. The plot revolved around two young teenagers stranded on an island, with little to no clothing, skinny-dipping, falling in love, making love, and eventually having a child. The man who wrote the story must have been a pedophile to conceive such a plot. The same could be said for anyone who wanted to make a movie about it. The acting by the two leads was…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-13
The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-44
“If markets are supposed to aggregate information, then a lot of what we call market failure looks more like an information failure. The price is wrong because the knowledge behind it is incomplete.” I finished answering the question my economics professor had posed to the class, one that no one else had managed to satisfy him with. I wasn’t entirely sure this was the response he’d been fishing for, but I knew one thing for certain. Everything I’d said was factually correct. “Perfect!”…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

I was walking from the Immigration zone towards the waiting area, dragging my red suitcase, my eyes taking in every face looking for two particular ones that I wanted to see more than anything else at the moment.“Troy!”I turned my head towards the familiar voice. Standing right there were Steve and Kathy. I picked up my pace as I almost ran towards the couple, balancing the suitcase carefully. As soon as I reached them, Kathy opened her arms for a hug and I literally rammed into her and hugged her for…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

Two days later, I had a new car and my own Alfred—ahem, I mean Roger.Roger Carpenter was ex-military, honorably discharged, and sent by a security agency that provided services for celebrities and other VIPs. He also had experience in navigating crowds and similar situations. He had signed an NDA and was contracted for three years to be my bodyguard/driver.The car I was given for my commute to and from the sets of was a BMW 540i. Initially, I thought it was very expensive (especially when I didn't even…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-77
I felt empty. I’m not trying to be deep or emo, but I really felt purposeless at the moment. What else was left for me to gain at this point by continuing to act? I had already achieved all the highest honors in acting that any actor would want in their life. True, I could yearn for a Grammy to finish my EGOT, but at the moment, I couldn’t think beyond the two Tony trophies I had with me—one for acting, and one for Best Musical. While legally my father may have been the producer of the show, he…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“Please do this for me, Emma,” Troy begged over the phone. “We don’t have an actress for the role of Sam. You said you love the role, so what’s the problem?”Emma took in a deep breath before saying, “The problem is that I’m going on a trip with my dad’s family during the same time you want me to shoot the film.”“You can go on a trip in September,” Troy offered. “I will be going then as well. We can go together if your family doesn’t want to.”“We’ve already made plans,…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

September 2005, Los AngelesI got out of my Lamborghini and crossed over to hold the door open for the lady accompanying me tonight.Rihanna looked stunning in the short green dress she had chosen, but I could sense her hesitation. She wasn’t entirely comfortable being out tonight. Placing my hand gently on the small of her back, I noticed her flinch ever so slightly. The reaction was brief—she quickly composed herself and offered a small, practiced smile.“Hey,” I whispered, leaning in slightly.…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

"Everyone!" DJ Caruso called out as filming was about to begin. "I want to apologize to you all for making the first few days of shooting so difficult. Most of all, I want to apologize to Troy for speaking ill of his acting style. He didn't deserve that at all." He then turned to face me. "Please forgive me, Troy."Evan had given me a heads-up about the move he had pulled with Caruso. I didn't like what he did, but I understood why it was necessary. If stories about on-set drama leaked to the media and…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

I looked over at the bustling set, where everyone seemed too busy doing something—everyone but me.“Got your script for the day?”I turned to my left and saw my mother standing beside me, watching me curiously. This was the first time in many years we had been on set together where she wasn’t just visiting. She looked completely at ease here, the confident grin on her face making that clear.“Yeah,” I replied. “I’ve memorized it too. I’m a little nervous about it, but still, I have a feeling…- 965.9 K • Ongoing
