FF – Hollywood Rocks!

Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. The photo was contributed by Rochelle herself back in November 2014, and according to the photo’s filename is somewhere in Hollywood.

So in this story we find out how Nathan is getting along, after his story in 2014, Land of Broken Dreams.

 

Six years. Six long years of waiting tables and finally, his big break. Hollywood rocks!

Okay, it was just a small TV advert. Okay… an advert for haemorrhoid cream. But he had a line!

‘With our patented cream, never again feel like you’re passing a pine cone! Crap-U-LikeTM – your one stop shop to pain-free plopping!’

So it wasn’t quite what he’d had in mind when he’d left Tinyville so long ago. But it was a foot on the ladder. Who knows, in a few months he could be King of the Bum Cream! Lord of the Laxatives!

Hollywood rocks!

    Dear Ali,

    OMG! This fires on all cylinders. Or should I say it flushed on all cylinders. Good job!

    Shalom,

    I can only applaud such noble aspirations. 😀 Who wouldn’t want to become Lord of the Bum Cream and go down in history as the man who eliminated painful plopping? Six years in Hollywood definitely rocked this guy’s brains. 😀
