Guide My Career

Short Story Press Presents Guide My Career by Jasmine Bowen

Is an actor’s life as glamorous as it seems?
Avion and Jared, two leads in a new historic play, can barely stand each other, let alone stand the horrid historical play they are both starring in.

The story of Elizabeth Woodville and King Edward is well known, but they can’t seem to capture each character in their acting.

Each of the actors in this play is a B-list actor, headed nowhere fast.

Reviews on previews are terrible and they don’t expect to get far.

When strange things start to happen, on and off set, they begin to question who is really in control.

Dangerous accidents push them to their limit.

It’s about standing your ground, believing in your dream, and overcoming obstacles.

These actors believe in their dream so strongly that they are willing to put their lives in danger in order to continue this production.

They find, as long ago, that strength and love come from the oddest places and can overcome.

“No, no, no, we aren’t people. We play people. There’s a difference”

Each of these actors is now propelled towards fame; but at what cost, as their lives flash in front of them?
