The Movie Stars Alphabet, Vol. 1

By Philippe Ho, Sr

Imagine movie stars telling a different story. Imagine if they were art models, boxers, counts, diplomats or anyone else. To make things even more interesting, imagine if their faces and real names were taken away. If you are a movie fan, you should be able to recognize some of the movie stars featured in these stories. However, it will be challenging to guess which movie star is the protagonist in my work of parody. I have to point out that the movie stars’ faces and real names have been changed not for copyright reasons, but to add mystery to the many stories contained in the first book of this series. However, there are hints appearing in the stories that will help you to uncover the characters to which I refer. There are also some stories that strangely resemble some popular movies. This is pure coincidence, however not to say by accident. I can imagine a smile appearing on your face at the exact moment you uncover one of my stories. That's why I like writing based on popular culture. I know the title I use for my series will attract many readers who share my same interest: movies. This is my tribute to all the great movies and great actors and actresses that made movie history.

Philippe Ho, Sr

Philippe Ho was born in Switzerland in a family of Vietnamese immigrants in the late 70s. After living 28 years in Switzerland, he moved to South America, where he lived in a number of countries like Uruguay, Argentina and currently Colombia. Despite being a French native speaker, he writes in Spanish and English. He started writing short stories for children in Spanish, then short stories for adults. Later, he started writing fictions about different subjects (politics, movie, contemporary novel, etc.) in Spanish and English. Originality and coming up with a good story is the heart of a good writing. It's all about inspiration and creativity. It's all about dreaming awake.

ANIMAL LOVER

Animals, especially dogs, are man’s best friend. They don’t argue, lie, ask for money, or abandon you… They are the perfect mates, even if they don’t share our intelligence. You don’t need to be an astrophysicist to understand love and friendship. The truth is, you don’t even need to go to school. Ask your cat, your dog, your hamster, or your horse… They are content with your companionship, and the food you provide them with.

Melissa loved animals so much that she made a career out of it as an animal caretaker. She was especially fond of dogs and her dolphin Flipper. They were the loves of her life. She would even spend Valentine’s Day with them instead of her boyfriend, which said a lot about who came first in her life. Her job involved rehabilitating injured and sick animals and releasing them when they were well enough. One of these animals was a grizzly bear. When it was time to say goodbye, she told him, Good Luck Chuck. When she rescued a group of little red foxes who had lost their mother in a car accident, she took care of them and treated them as if they were her own children. She called them the Little Fockers. How cute it was to see her walking around the neighborhood with a stroller filled with the Little Fockers. She even befriended a Siberian Tiger when she worked at a wildlife conservation park abroad. She was so deeply connected that she could feel the tiger’s emotions and instinct under her own skin. She would say joking, I feel The Killer Inside Me. She called her big cat Honey."

Sadly, over the past decade, wildlife has been threatened at a rate never seen before. Many species have gone extinct, and many more are endangered. They need to Escape from Planet Earth, as humans don’t want to share it with anyone. Almost 8 billion people on Earth takes up a lot of space, and other species are asked to step aside without anywhere to go.

Melissa had The Eye for An Invisible Sign. She was waiting for Venus’ Rising, the day life on Venus would be possible. It would
