Danseur

The dance company I was supposed to be a guest with for this season has announced the ballets they'll be presenting in the Spring. Along with the cast. My name is nowhere. I've been replaced even before a re-evaluation has been made by the physiotherapist, my doctor, the company's artistic director. I've been cast out, like I don't even exist. Heart jolting, my hands sweat and shake. I instantly jot down a hasty email for my brother, demanding he investigates this and takes legal action against them. Something must be done about it. Before I can put the phone aside, my attention is caught by yet another piece of news, and this one hits harder. Something about Eddie Brighton's upcoming film project having leaked, and the most likely protagonists being Adie Atkins - the eighteen-year-old actress who looks fifteen - and Ryan Wu. My name, again, is mysteriously missing.
