More Than Just A Dream

Hello, welcome to another blog post from me. I wrote this fiction short story. Honest opinions, please….

Bryson dreamed of becoming a singer. He dreamt of one day starting a career that would branch into having the opportunity to perform in front of thousands of people. One day this dream miraculously came true.

Bryson was in his cousin’s recording studio singing Gravity by John Mayer, when the astounding Jermain Dupree walked in. The expression on Jermain’s face was a clear sign of amazement. He stopped Bryson and asked, “What’s your name and where you from?” “My name is Bryson and I am from Mississippi,” he answered. They began to converse about what it takes to make it in the game meaning performing music. The next morning, Bryson woke up in an exhilarating mood. He went straight to his cousin’s studio where he received a message from Jermain. The message read: “Wassup, it’s Jermain. After the conversation we had yesterday, I thought it would be good if you came to sing at my Christmas party. It’s going to be December 23rd at 7:00.” As soon as Bryson read the message, he responded: “I would love to. Thank you so much for this opportunity.”

At that moment, Bryson knew this was the opportunity he had been dreaming about. He took into consideration who would be there, what he was would be doing, and where it would be done. Bryson started planning the performance by choosing what he would sing. He felt he needed to pick a song that would showcase what his voice was capable of. So, he decided to sing “Silent Night”. Then, he had to find something to wear. He thought it was necessary to look his best, but also be comfortable. He decided to wear a black pant suit with a sparkling red necklace and handpiece. With the most important aspects of the show figured out, he practiced the song repeatedly until he had it down packed.

The morning of the performance, Bryson woke up determined to take care of his voice so that he could deliver to the best of his ability that evening. He fixed himself some hot chocolate to keep his vocal chords soothed. Then, the time came for him to prepare for the performance. He got dressed, warmed up, and was ready to take the stage. As Jermain introduced him, he started to become nervous. But, when he put the microphone to his mouth, and started to sing, all his nervousness went away. As Bryson finished the song, he felt great about what he had just done, and the audience incited his feeling about his performance. Bryson began exiting the stage, only to be met by Timberland at the end of the stairway. Timberland asked Bryson if he would be interested in signing for Mosley Music Group, Inc. There was no way Bryson could not turn down the opportunity, so he gladly accepted. In that moment, he realized that his dream was more than just a dream.
