Hooray for Hollywood! (FF)

Copyright-Rochelle Wisoff-Fields

I never would have believed it, Sid!  Two months in Hollywood and you've made it all happen!"

"I told you, Johnny, I'm your man: Sid Swifty,  Agent to the Stars!"

"And here already I'm playing the Palace!  You are the best agent in show business, Sid."

"And tomorrow, kid, you'll be working with Harrison Ford!"

"It's a dream come true."

"Well, kid, we're at the Palace now."

"I’m so excited, Sid!  Where do I go?"

"Over by green booth.  That's where you pick up the cars to valet."

"Got it." 

"And if all goes well, Harrison Ford will be lunching here tomorrow!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're going to make it in show business, you need a good agent.  Too bad our protagonist got himself Sid Swifty.  I wonder how much 10% is of $7.25 an hour?

If Sid reps authors too, I'd advise the rest of our Friday Fictioneers to steer clear. I don't have too much to worry about because 10% of zero is probably not worth his while, but if Sid checks out  the other Fictioneers' responses to the picture prompt above, his mouth may be watering.

Who knows, guys?  Wanna work with Harrison Ford?

The Only Place to Be

"I'm telling ya, Jack, the motion picture business is the only place to be!

Yeah, got myself a new phone, can you hear me?  You and me together, bubbela, like in the old days!  With our connections, we'll be making pictures in no time.  We can get Pickford, we can get Chaplin, when the timing’s right, we can get Jolson!

Ah, Jackie, come on!  Take a week and drive with me to LA, we'll talk it though. There's gold in them thar Hollywood Hills!" 

Told you, Jack, I just got the latest phone.  Yep, with all the apps!

Of course I'm talking to you from 1913!   Who'd be crazy enough to want to go into the movie business in 2057?!"

Picture prompt above, story below, 120 words .... that's the run down of my weekly contribution to the Fabulous Friday Fictioneers and Justice League of America Superheroes for this third week of January, 2013.

I'm no superhero for being above 100 words, but I'll try to come to the rescue of that imperiled word tally next week. Til then, you guys ought to be in pictures! 

If we can just convince Jackie to make them.
