Starstruck

The surprise appearance of a stunning starlet attracted quite the crowd, but she paid them no attention, not a wave, not even a plastic smile.

Everyone pushed and shoved hoping to catch even the tiniest glimpse of her. Blinding camera flashes of the paparazzi were matched by the deafening screams of lifelong fans. The high-profile actress remained unfazed, never uttering a single word of acknowledgment or disapproval.

It took an entire police precinct to push back the unruly mob. By the time they cleared the area it was too late. The group of ghoulish admirers had already contaminated the crime scene.

    Good story. I really enjoyed the twist at the end. However I was thrown off by your use of the word starlet. A starlet is an up and coming, young actress, not a high profile actress with life-long fans. It was contradictory and took away from the story for me. I’d suggest using “movie star” or something similar. Otherwise, it was great.
