《Reel or Real》Chapter 39 : Sukhi ran away with the money
Advertisement
The next day I was surprised that August was eliminated instead of me, I was so happy that I won from him, I stayed longer than him. We took some time off-camera before parting our ways and mutually agreed that this divorce matter will be settled after both of us will be free. Even though the show will be over soon, we still have a lot of professional and personal commitments, plus we need to again deal with our families on the same thing.
In the final segment of the show, they offered 500 thousand US dollars to whoever wants to quit the show can. We were given 48 hrs to think if they want to leave the show or not. I thought before these two guys take the money I should snatch this opportunity and leave the show. As soon as the hosts finished their long speech and left, I grabbed the suitcase and started packing my things while those two were shocked that before they even can comprehend or think. I didn't want them to snatch the suitcase from me so I healed it tightly while packing my things. I even took the suitcase to the laundry room to pick up my clothes from there, because these two idiots are trying to snatch the suitcase.
Conrad in a very harsh and loud voice called me out, "Sukhi, don't be in such a rush your not giving us time to think, we still have a lot of time left. "
Amit also joined in support of Conrad and said, "Sukhiji you can't do this to us, what if one of us also wanted to quit."
I answered back, "It is none of my business, and I am not breaking any rules. So scram."
Before they annoy me more I ran towards the door and started banging to let me out, as the hosts not had left the vicinity yet. So Ricky had opened the door for me and I didn't even bother to look back.

Both Nihal and Ricky took me to the stage and Nihal tried to be angry but couldn't control his laughter. Then Ricky said politely, "Why you want to quit the show after reaching so far."
I answered very confidently, "Please these types of shows are generally won by most scandalous and controversial people and I don't fit in them."Seeing their faces I understood they didn't think I will speak the brutal truth after all everyone turns diplomatic during interviews.
Nihal then laughingly said, "How can you say? you don't fit in. Do you have any idea that how many controversies and scandals came out? and how many people tried to slander you on social media. You almost became every household topic across the globe. "
Then they show some headlines and a few clips which were most viewed, after seeing this I felt like somebody had poured cold water on my confidence.
I answered embarrassingly, "Well I really wanted to start my project soon and this money is more than enough for the pilot project. "

8 98The Survival of the Prince
"Life is an interesting thing, it brings us to interesting places, it whispers to us interesting tales, it shows us interesting paths, but one thing that life does not do is coddle us, and that in a sense makes it ever more so interesting" - an interested philosopher I hope you enjoy the story.

8 65They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.

In a city of darkness and murder, the greatest danger is found in the mind.Alany hasn’t tracked anyone since the war, but when his lover goes missing, old skills are all he can trust.With no other leads, he is forced to contact a mysterious network of telepathic magi, and risk his sanity for hope.When the mind is no longer sanctuary, and even memories can be bartered, is there still power in love?The first book of a new series in Edward Eidolon’s Fae Mythos. A note from the Author: PLEASE leave a review and alert me of any plot holes, weak portions, and anything else. I am in desperate need of beta readers and feedback. I wrote this around the new year, 2020. It's about 40k words and the first in a planned series that follows Gar "Alany" Darron and his agency of detectives as they track missing persons in the city of Throne. I have the sequel planned but not written. Once this one is completely uploaded, I'll be uploading another, unrelated series that as of right now is roughly 160k words long, and somewhere in there, I'll write the sequel to Frame of Mind. I plan to go back and forth between the two series for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading.
8 61Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.
