I don't know why the stars chose me. Why they continue to choose me. I move from city to city working the first jobs I can find. I'll take any job as long as it gets me away from them, though they always find me in the end.
Alaskan Slope? I worked facility maintenance there.
Oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico? I was a cook there.
Middle of the desert in Arizona? I poured concrete in the heat.
I even drove semi trucks across the rust belt for a few years, never having a base at all until they figured it out.
It all started in LA. I was on vacation when I was examining the TLC Chinese Theatre. I was absorbed by the geometric lines of the building. Hell, I didn't even notice the person standing next to me at first.
"Not quite like the other buildings around here, huh?" A melodic voice drew my attention. A pretty blonde stood next to me.
"No kidding. Nothing like it in my town in Ohio either!"
She laughed. "I'm Jennifer."
"Terrance. Pleasure."
We talked for a moment, and then another person arrived. "Downey! Go away! He's mine!" she shouted at him. This drew the attention of other people there, and several walked towards us. Then it hit me.

I looked around and realized I'm in a mob of the stars of LA, and they seemed to be fighting. OVER ME. I panicked and bolted. They chased me, and at that, I realized the truth. THE STARS CHOSE ME...
