The Price of Fame - A Life States Dynasty
A Golden Future
Mr B started telling me the story of how he had meet with my father years ago and that everything that had happened to me since was orchestrated by him.
"Nonsense" I told him. "I'm here because I have it all, beauty, talent, charisma. That's all me my friend"
"I'm the star they are all dying to see" I retorted.
"I earned my mansion and my cars through hard work and long hours." I boasted.
Mr B laughed, a sinister laugh that now haunts my memory. "Silly boy, don't you understand. You were just a small town farm boy, destined to be a farmer just like your father. You were never meant to be here, to have this life. You see your father paid for this life with his most prized possession, his diamond."
"You see it's all right here in the first few pages of this book. That's you father's signature isn't it" He handed me a book, and sure enough the first few pages contained a contract where Mr B would see to it that I got the fame and fortune my father so desperately wanted for me.
"What's the rest of the book about" I asked. "Why it details your payment to me my boy, to think a measly diamond would be worth my efforts" He responded.
I was furious, he had promised my father that his diamond would be the payment. And now here he is saying I had more to pay. "Your an evil and sadistic man, I want nothing to do with you. Get off my property" And I turned and started to walk away from him
From behind me I could hear his evil sniker, "It's not that easy, boy" he shouted at me. I suddenly found myself falling to my knees, my entire body tensed up like I was turning to stone. I could feel a curious sensation surround me, and suddenly I wasn't where I had been a few moments earlier. I was a few feet away looking back at my body, my body that had been turned into solid gold.
Mr B was laughing at the sight of my golden body, reveling in the death he had brought down upon me for disobeying him. His sinister bellow had caught the attention of Maricella who came running to see what was going on. And in an instant we were joined by the Reaper coming to collect me for my journey to the Netherworld.
When the Reaper caught sight of Mr B, he backed off. "Is this another one of your pets" he asked Mr B. "Why yes he is, and a troublesome one at that" Mr B responded.
"He will have to be put to the test, I can't just forget about him." The Reaper told Mr B. "Oh yes of course, our usual arrangement. But not to worry this one is not cut out for passing the test. He will be yours soon enough"
I pleaded with the Reaper to take me now and not leave me in the hands of the evil Mr B.
But the Reaper would not hear of it, he vanished as quickly as he came. My last sight of my old life was my beloved Maricella mourning my death...
