In a cynical world, everyone has fantasies. It's what separates emotion from reality, idealism from chaos, and destiny from demise. But very few possess the ability to make them come true.
The moment Bryan Cornell read your bestselling novel, the visions flashed before his eyes, in a veil of picture and colour. He just had to adapt it into a film. And so, he found his next project.
A dozen phone calls and desperate ramblings later, his team reached out to you, the author. You agreed to help sculpt his masterpiece, and witness your story thrive in the form of cinema.

A few months have passed since then. Now, you find yourself bathing deep in the lights of the city, where dreams dance in glass puddles in the form of luminous neon, and you're ready to make this one a reality. You arrive at a grand and extravagant hotel, decorated in marble with windows draped in a veil of velvet. You hadn't been told much, the man you spoke with eluding that all will be revealed upon your arrival. Filming begins at dawn tomorrow, and anticipation gnaws at your bones in a heated flurry.
The one thing you do know is that all the luxurious rooms and suites have been reserved for the cast during the next few months.
It's late in the evening by now, and exhaustion clings to you still from your plane ride. You make your way through the lofty halls, chandeliers spinning into a blur, luggage dragging behind you on a silver cart. Your weariness takes over, and suddenly the number 406 twists into 409. Your key rattles into the lock, door thudding against the wall. You barely realize your mistake until it suddenly slides open, and you see him standing before you, hair damp and a towel wound around his waist.
He reaches out a steady hand to you, flashing his pearly white teeth, and licking the words from his tongue, as if to savour the taste.
