2023
I fumble to fit the key into the keyhole on my door. After dropping it a few times, I finally turn the lock and step into my apartment.
As soon as I shut the door, I let out scream of joy.
It finally happened.
I gained recognition for my creative work.
For the past few months, the numbers on my Instagram page have been steadily growing due to my frequent posting of my photography shots.
I first passed one-thousand followers, then ten-thousand, and now I'm almost at fifty-thousand.
Eeep! I mentally scream.
A company had just e-mailed me this morning, saying they want me to move my 'business' to New York. And they're paying for the entire thing. Apartment, travel, food, everything. For three months.
I will be the main photographer for the company, with tons of shoots I will be assigned to. But I'll also have plenty of time to take my own shots.
"Let's make the most of this Riley. You've only got three months."
