Finally Famous
I stare at the bulbed lights sparkling down Hollywood.
I want be like that, a bright light, shining for everyone to see.
I walk past paparazzi clicking images of rich, famous people.
I need to be them.
Without a second of thought, the desire too much, I stick to the shadows and follow the famous people within an opera house.
I knock out a paparazzi man, stealing his camera, and walk through the doors of the opera.
The security guards pay me no attention, for I look as though I was merely camera lady.
My eyes stick to the sight of the famous woman and her blond, long hair. She smiles richly and with happiness.
I need to be her.
The opera dims in light and I station myself.
Soft music begins to play, thundering through the air.
It’s my time.
I rush to the stage and jump into the spotlight, and then I pull the rope I installed yesterday.
The rope releases thousands and thousands of small bats, positioning the famous with rabid bats.
I smile as I stare and stare.
Some flashes of light blink before me, it is cameras taking my picture.
I hear sirens, and then loud booming footsteps.
I am taken down and arrested.
The next morning, I hear the news of me.
I am all over every channel.
Finally I am famous.
