Story telling

I just thought of writing short stories to keep my myself sane. This is my first attempt......hope u guys like it:

The story of a Guy

Nick was always interested in movies. Be it comedies or action flicks even romantic flicks or thrillers everything interested him. His obsession led him to read a lot about the industry……books, magazines, gossip…..nothing escaped him. He knew details about each and every film that he had seen. People were amazed at the interest he held and that he was capable of religiously watching a flick every week.

Secretly he dreamt of becoming an actor……who didn’t these days. But he never could figure out a way to start. He then remembered the interviews of the many stars that he had seen. The most common thing he had seen was that each and every one of them began behind the scenes. He then contemplated where to begin with. Spot boy? Direction? Stunts?!! Where could he start?

It then came to him like a bolt of lightning……….writing. He was not bad at that. Maybe a little unpolished…….but never the less he knew he was good. And so began his attempts, but no matter what he did, no matter how many books he read on screenwriting he was missing one very vital component!! An active imagination!!!

Ideas were not coming forth and he started to think………” How in the world do people come up with ideas for movies??”. He was seriously lost. Then lightening struck twice, he read that storylines need to be based on real life experience no matter how bizarre or unrealistic. There is always that element of reality behind the subversive universe one calls a script!!!!

And so he began his quest with his first ever script………even before he typed his first words he was already accepting his Oscar from none other than Spielberg himself!!!!

But he did eventually start off……….he wrote about a guy, a regular guy, an unknown guy, a guy who was not that popular who was damn interested in movies and who wanted to be a star!!!! He kept writing and writing and then suddenly he was writing about his life and masking it with his fictitious character!!! Suddenly a familiar song came into his head and he remembered about all things seemingly unnatural that came to life in The Twilight Zone!!!!
