After graduating from college, James started his own business. It was a risky move, but he had faith in his vision and his ability to make it work. And work it did. Within a few years, he had built a successful company.
It was at a business conference in Madison, Wisconsin, that Mark met the love of his life. Lisa was smart, beautiful, and successful in her own right. They hit it off immediately and were married within a year.
Once James and Lisa had walked down the aisle and said their vows, they embarked on their journey together as husband and wife. For James, that meant a lot of hard work and dedication as he entered into his chosen career path as an artist.
At first, James was hesitant to pursue his dream, He worried that it wouldn’t lead to a steady income or a comfortable lifestyle. Due to the time that goes into writing and producing. But Lisa saw how passionate James was about his art, and she knew that he wouldn’t be happy unless he pursued it.
So Lisa encouraged James to follow his dreams and create the artwork that he was truly passionate about. She supported James every step of the way, even when he faced setbacks and rejection.
And it paid off. James became more confident in his abilities, and he started to sell his art pieces at local galleries. Word of mouth spread, and soon he had a following of art enthusiasts who admired his work.
Lisa was so proud of James and was always happy to see her husband doing what he loved most. She was even his biggest fan.
James was grateful for Lisa’s unwavering support and encouragement. Her faith in his abilities gave him the confidence he needed to pursue his dreams.
It was sometime early on a foggy morning, James decided to take a walk for some me time.
It was something about this particular day that was different from the average, there was a restricted construction site that was shut down in abandoned for unknown reasons. No one really goes there, he just needed somewhere to refocus his thoughts.
James was curious as a boy, always exploring new places, and today was no different. He had come across a wooden structure in a shut-down construction site. The structure was old and worn and had seen better days, but something inside caught James’s attention. There were strange objects placed randomly inside, and James couldn’t help but feel curious about it.
As he approached the structure, he noticed smoke coming from the hole. He could smell the thick smoke, and it was making him dizzy. But James didn’t stop, he kept walking towards the hole, and as he reached the edge, he inhaled a deep breath of the smoke, and everything went black.
When James woke up, he was in a dark room. He could hear his own breathing and the sound of a heartbeat. The room was eerily quiet, and James couldn’t make out any objects in the pitch-black darkness. All of a sudden, a voice echoed through the room.
“Welcome, James, I’ve been waiting for you.”
James tried to get up, but his body was immobile, his arms and legs tied down to a cold metal table. Panic washed over him as he realized he was trapped. The voice continued, “James, you’ve been chosen to undertake a mission that will change the world, but before that, you need to know your purpose.”
The voice went on to describe James’s entire life, details that only James could know, fears, secrets and all. James was terrified, who was this voice, and how did they know so much about him? Suddenly, the voice stopped, and there was a long silence. James could feel his heartbeat racing, he was alone in this dark room, and terror had consumed him.
The silence broke when the voice spoke again, “The man you need to see is in the city, find him and tell him everything you remember from this room, he will guide you further.”
Finally, James could move his body, he felt free but still confused and terrified. He stumbled in the darkness, trying to find his way out. As he reached the door, he could hear the sound of footsteps, and he knew he had to run.
As he emerged from the room, he realized he was in the same construction site, but everything was different. The sky was dark and smoky, and the wooden structure was now a massive tower that seemed to reach the skies. James had no idea where to go, so he started running towards the city, the feeling of dread never leaving him.
Even now, weeks later, James was haunted by the memory of that room, the voice, and those strange objects. He had found the man he was supposed to see, but he didn’t know if he could trust him. James had a feeling that he was being watched, he didn’t know by who, but he knew they wanted him. He could feel the fear building inside of him, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
I was given this information to see this psychologist. You know, I’m sitting in a room with a guy.
And he tells me you’re not crazy, but there is a chemical imbalance. What, wait. Imbalance?
So he want to prescribe me some pills like I’m really dysfunctional. I’m already starting to feel like the rappers in the movies. Yeah I took the pills, I was never the one that ever felt like I needed It
After a day or so later, James was contacted by a representative of man craft Cinema. One of the biggest in adult motion picture entertainment, without being pornographic.
James was excited to meet with Manson about working behind the scenes of his next major motion picture. He had always dreamed of working in the film industry and this was his chance. He arrived at Manson’s house early in the morning, eager to get started.
Manson greeted James at the door and led him to his spacious living room. Damn. His crib more fly then mine. He couldn’t help but think to himself, they sat down and started discussing the project. Manson
––––––––
WAS PRODUCING A BIG-budget sci-fi film and needed someone to handle the behind-the-scenes production work. He had heard good things about James and was impressed with his resume, so he was eager to offer him the job.
James listened intently as Manson explained the details of the project. He was impressed with Manson’s vision and his passion for the film. As they talked, James started to feel more and more comfortable with the idea of working together.
Manson then asked James if he had any questions. James had prepared a list beforehand, so he was ready to fire away. He asked about the budget, the shooting schedule, the crew, and the cast. Manson answered all of his questions patiently and in great detail. He even gave him a sneak peek at some of the concept art for the film.
After a few hours of negotiation, James and Manson came to an agreement. James would work as the behind-the-scenes producer on the film for a generous salary, and he would have creative control over many aspects of the production. Manson was happy to have him onboard and was excited to see what he could bring to the film.
James left Manson’s house feeling elated. He had landed his dream job and was eager to start working. He couldn’t wait to get to work and throw himself into the project. He knew that there would be long hours and hard work ahead, but he was ready for the challenge. He felt grateful for the opportunity and couldn’t wait to see the final product on the big screen.
As James walked in the door to their home, his wife could see the excitement on his face. “What’s happened?” she asked, eagerly.
“I got the job!” James exclaimed, taking her hands in his. “I start in two weeks, and it’s more money than I ever thought I’d be making.”
His wife beamed with pride and hugged him tightly. “I’m so proud of you, James,” she said, tears in her eyes. “You’ve worked so hard for this.”
––––––––
“I HAVE,” JAMES AGREED, grinning from ear to ear. “And I think we should celebrate.”
His wife’s eyes widened in surprise. “Really? How?”
“Let’s go out to dinner tonight,” James suggested. “We’ll go to that fancy restaurant we’ve always talked about – the one in Beverly Hills.”
His wife’s face lit up with delight. “That sounds amazing,” she said, wrapping her arms around him. “Let’s do it.”
They spent the rest of the day getting ready for their night out. James put on his best suit, while his wife chose a beautiful dress and heels. They took their time getting ready, enjoying the excitement of their celebratory night out.
As they drove to the restaurant, James couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. The restaurant was one of the most expensive and prestigious in the city, and he wanted everything to go perfectly. But his wife’s hand in his, and the look of love and pride on her face, gave him the confidence he needed.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they were greeted by a valet who took their car and directed them to the main entrance. The restaurant was exquisite – all gleaming chandeliers and polished marble floors. They were escorted to their table by a smiling hostess, and seated in a private booth with a view of the beautiful garden outside.
As they perused the menu, James couldn’t help but marvel at the prices – every dish was more expensive than he’d ever imagined. Although he had the extra money to spare, he was determined to give his wife the night of her dreams.
They ordered cocktails, then appetizers, then entrees, each dish more delicious than the last. James felt a thrill of satisfaction as he signed the bill, knowing he was able to afford it all. And when the night was over, and they walked out into the warm summer air, his wife turned to him and said, “Thank you, James. This was the most amazing night of my life.”
James felt tears well up in his eyes. “Anything for you,” he said, taking her hand in his. “And now that I have this new job, we can have more nights like this in the future.”
––––––––
THEY WALKED BACK TO their car, full of love and joy and hope for the future. As they drove home, the city lights spread out around them, James felt like he was on top of the world. “This is just the beginning,” he whispered to his wife. “There’s so much more to come.”
James had always been fascinated by the supernatural and had often entertained the idea of communicating with spirits. But after that disturbing vision, he began to regret ever considering it. His mind was plagued with questions about the conspiracies that were hinted at in the vision. Who was behind them? What were they trying to achieve?
As the days went by, James found himself becoming more paranoid. He started seeing strange things around his house, like objects moving on their own, shadows lurking in the corner of his eye, and strange whispers in the dead of night. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was watching him.
Desperate for answers, James turned to the internet for guidance. He stumbled upon a website that promised to help him communicate with his higher self. Without hesitation, he purchased a subscription and gathered a group of friends to try it out.
At first, their attempts were futile. But suddenly, the visions became more distinctive with messages from spirits warning James to stop asking questions about the conspiracies and to forget they ever existed.
But James was now obsessed with uncovering the truth. He continued to delve deeper, believing that he was getting closer to the answers he so desperately sought. Until one night, something dark and malevolent came through James vision, unleashing a terrifying force upon James and his friends.
As the night turned into a harrowing nightmare, James realized too late that he should have listened to the warning he received in his vision. He had opened a door that should have remained firmly closed, and now he was paying the ultimate price for his curiosity.
––––––––
I WAS STARTING TO THINK the psychologist pills had started to take over my mind.
I was at a point where I can see how a person can have everything it is that they can want in this world and mentally be more bound than a prisoner. At that point I discovered that everything I needed I had it within myself. I discovered something that man or a pill couldn’t give me.
That was the moment I decided to throw away all of these bullshit pills
As James sat in his dimly lit apartment, he couldn’t shake off the eerie feeling that had been lingering since his dream the night before. The image of a mysterious figure haunted him, and he couldn’t help but feel unsettled.
He suddenly remembered the person he was supposed to contact, who supposedly had information about the dark side of the entertainment industry. Determined to find out more, he quickly made the call.
After a few rings, a deep and husky voice answered, “Hello?”
“Uh, hi,” James stuttered nervously. “I was given your number by a friend who said you could tell me about the dark side of the entertainment industry.”
There was a long pause on the other end of the line before the voice finally responded, “You should be careful about what you wish for, son. The truth isn’t always pretty.”
James swallowed hard and braced himself as the voice continued, “I’ve seen a lot of things in my time in the industry. Secrets that most people can’t even imagine. You know why so many actors and rappers die young? It’s because they make deals with the devil.”
James felt a chill run down his spine as the voice went on to explain the details. “These celebrities make deals with powerful entities for fame and fortune, but they pay a price. They sacrifice a piece of their soul for the success they achieve. And when they inevitably can’t keep up their end of the bargain, they’re taken to the other side.”
The room suddenly grew colder, and James could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing, but there was something about the voice that made it feel all too real.
As the conversation ended, James was left with a feeling of dread. He couldn’t shake the thought that the entertainment industry wasn’t as glamorous as it seemed, and the cost of fame was a heavy burden to bear.
He tried to shake off the feeling and went about his day, but he couldn’t help but feel like something was watching him from the shadows. Every time he turned a corner, he thought he saw a figure lurking just out of sight.
That night, as James lay in bed, he heard a faint whisper in his ear. “It’s not too late to stay away, son. Forget what you heard and never look back.”
James bolted upright in his bed, sweating profusely. He knew the voice was right, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched.
He tried to rationalize it as just his mind playing tricks on him, but deep down he knew the truth. The entertainment industry was a dark and sinister place, and he had just scratched the surface.
Despite everything, he still had a strong appetite for fame. James had always dreamed of working in the film industry, so when he got the opportunity to be an assistant on a major motion picture set, he couldn’t believe his luck. He arrived on his first day early, eager to impress and learn as much as possible. However, as the day went on, he quickly discovered that the movie industry wasn’t as glamorous as he had imagined.
––––––––
....
The set was chaotic, with people running around everywhere and shouting instructions at each other. The director was behind schedule, which was causing tension among the crew. James was assigned to help with costumes and makeup, but his lack of experience made him feel out of place.
He tried his best to keep up with the demands of the job, but everything seemed to be happening too quickly for him. The actors were constantly changing into different costumes, and the makeup artists were frantically touching up their faces between shots.
––––––––
AS THE DAY WORE ON, James began to see the dark side of the industry. He overheard one of the producers speaking to the director about cutting corners to save money. When James asked about safety procedures for a dangerous stunt, he was told that there wasn’t time for that and that it was all about making the shot look good.
Feeling overwhelmed, James took a few minutes to collect his thoughts. He questioned whether this was really what he wanted to do with his life. However, as he watched the actors and crew work together to create something magical, he realized that despite the challenges, he loved being a part of the film industry.
By the end of the day, James had gained a newfound respect for the hard work and dedication that went into making a movie. Despite the chaos, he was proud to have been a part of it all. As he left the set, he knew that he had found his calling and was ready to take on whatever challenges came his way.
