Not so long ago, I was famous and I was the star who dazzled everywhere and everyone. People loved and worshiped me and put me on a pedestal so high that I could hardly look down at the real world. But then, wrinkles and age caught up with life and I was the forgotten actress. A crowd of plastic newbies replaced me and I was pushed to the background, without another choice. Today, I lay buried here all alone, with the whole world forgetting the fact that I was a normal human being after all and once lived among them.
This five sentence fiction is written for the topic 'Dazzle' at Lillie McFerrin Writes.
This drabble (100 word fiction) is written for Friday Fictioneers, 27th June.
A story that rings so true. Sadly, most of the actresses are bestowed with this fate in the end. Good one, Soumya!

ReplyDeleteFrom lights to darkness..Story of so many actresses..Sad life!
ReplyDeleteWay too many! Really sad.
DeleteStory of all actresses, which is also a fact known to them before they step into limelight and is a choice made willingly.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. They decide on the short term fame themselves.
DeleteThat's the cost of fame. That's why I like my simple life :D
ReplyDeleteSays the heroine :P
DeleteThat is the sad reality, and how it happens with all the celebrities, it so reminds me of R D Burman!
