Behind The Spotlight Chapter 145
Dylan pushed the pushcart to buy groceries. The metallic wheels squeaked softly against the polished floor. It had been years since he graduated from college, and his life was just average at best.
He found a cozy job that earned him $120 thousand every year, but even then, he didn't feel any fulfillment. There was always that dull emptiness that money couldn't fill. He came from a middle-class family, his family wasn't struggling, and he even had properties in his name that he inherited from his grandparents.
Overall, Dylan had a safety net even if he failed in his career.
"Should I choose Captain Crunch or Cheerios?" he muttered under his breath.
While choosing a cereal brand in the grocery store, Dylan recalled the reunion he had with his friends. Two months ago, back in November, Dylan, Bob, and their friends went together to watch The Frightening Movie, and it was hilarious. He could still remember the tears in his eyes from laughing too hard, the popcorn spilling from his lap, and the echoes of their laughter in the theater. They had fun watching the parody movie.
Ever since Director Wyatt Bray filmed his debut film The Accidental Wedding Crashers, Dylan and his friends had become fans of his filmography. His movies had that special charm, absurd yet clever, the kind that reminded Dylan of simpler, more carefree days. Whenever Wyatt Bray released a new movie, their friend group would set up a date to watch it together.
It became one of the few fun things Dylan experienced now that he had become an adult and a member of society, a tiny escape from the monotony of daily life. He realized that being an adult wasn't that simple. It was actually tough.
He missed being a young, dumb guy who watched movies with his friends every weekend. That was an important part of his college days.
