Spookychild’s writings

That was how on Friday morning. I came to be in some of their hand-me-down clothes. In front of Mr Carmel. I was shaking like a leaf. He was a monster of a man. I could tell when he walked in that he would hurt me even without trying. I could see the bulge in his pants. Stewie had no such bulge. And it only got bigger when he looked at me.

 He was very attractive. He was good enough looking that he could have starred in his own pictures. But he had to be behind the scene.  He looked at me with some even stronger than Stewie had in his eyes when looking at me. It made my stomach twist into knots.

 When the wardrobe woman, Helga, took me away she had much advice. “ You know, dear,  You don’t have to go through with it. You could leave now.“ she said,  As she held various colors up to my face. “ He’s only going to use you in a very nasty way, and you can do so much better than him.”

 I stared at her with my eyes huge, listening but not agreeing.  Finally, when she paused to dig around in the closets I responded. “ But to Mr Carmel, he can make me famous if I cooperate, yes?”

 She looked up at me, apparently surprised I could speak. Then she clicked her tongue and bought me her outfit choices. “ Yes, but at what cost?  He will abandon you in a few months,  And it would be a sheer miracle if another studio picked you up at that point.“ 

“ But no matter what I would have made those movies for him. I would be immortalized, if I don’t use any extra money and live cheaply I will have enough for the rest of my life!” The path was so clear to me. If I was a good girl for him. He would keep me for many months and I would make four or five movies and then I would have a couple million. I wouldn’t waste it like the average starlet. I would save it and then when it was over, even if no one else picked me up for other movies, or if I only got secondary roles, I would still have enough for the rest of my life and never have to worry or depend on another man again.

Helga I looked at me thoughtfully then, for a moment. Then she shook her head, “ I have yet to see a starlet follow such a plan, But if you think you can do it and you are able, then it ought to work. But be wary. Success will go to your brain and you will be changed by Mr Carmel, even if you are the best for him he will hurt you.”
