author's note. the flash, direction narration borrows from chuck palahniuk's invisible monsters, an absolutely incredible novel.



American Idol makes it look so pretty, like all it takes is dreams and talent, like all you have to do is sing and sing well, put on a nice dress and pick a good song and make the crowd feel it. As if talent is enough.

Los Angeles is a dirty place filled with dirty air and even dirtier people. American Idol doesn’t show the blowjobs, doesn’t show the parties you fucked your way into and the lines of coke you have to snort to fit in with the producers and people who’ve already got what you want.

All Skyler Wyatt ever wanted was love and affection, and she got it. It’s right outside her window in the flashing lights of the paparazzi, at every fucking corner and all along Robertson Boulevard.

Flash.

Give me beauty.

Flash.

Give me sex appeal.

Flash.

Give me righteous indignation and the middle finger.

Flash.

Give me psychosis on the road to suicide.

Flash.

There’s no going home. She can run to anywhere, and they’ll always be there - somebody who knows who she is or was and wants to take it for a ride. All she can do is die pretty and young.

end.

like it? watch whereismytalent.
