Just Like Me

I reach over and turn off the alarm clock before i slam it against the wall for waking me up.
Yet another long day ahead. Let us hope that everyone cooperates.
I roll out of bed and fumble for my slippers so i can feed the dog. But before i even get the bowl, my phone rings. It is going to be one of those days.
After ignoring the call for the third time, i answer pleasantly, "Hello."
"Good morning Ms. Moen." My assistant commences, "I would like to remind you that high school students are coming on set today for a field trip."
"Thank you Sidney, I almost forgot!" I lied.
"Alrighty  Ms. Moen, I will see you soon." She chimed.
I hung up before she got that last word out. I do not want to see a bunch of ungrateful high school students today. They put too much pressure on the actors, Jared and Jensen. Also, Misha becomes moody brat when students surround him. He likes his personal space.
The disadvantages of being a producer.
But in the end, it can be worth it. I get to see the girl who cries because she meets her idols for the first time. Then she will elaborate on how my show effected her life. She will articulate about how terrible her life is and how watching the show is an escape for her. She evades real life to live in the fantasy world i have created. Mine has a happy ending. I am honored to give her that happy ending, even if it is just for a second.
With this thought in my head, i finish getting ready for work. I drive with a smile and say hello to everyone i see.
When the students arrive, I spot her immediately. She could not smile yet, she was in shock. Her fantasy is finally coming true. Her eyes twinkled with a tear that she wiped away instantly.
I look at the lost girl and smile. I know where she will end up one day. She will be a producer on a television show or movie, just like me. She will help others that were like her, just like me. She will help them flee this world for a better one momentarily, just like me.
