Hollywood Has It Backwards (a short story)

Movies make love seem so beautiful
Whether we want them to or not, movies shape our expectations. Take dating, relationships, and love, for example. We expect unrealistic bliss from each of these because we have watched and enjoyed countless happily-ever-after endings.

But it's only a myth
Marc, the narrator of this story, learned to see right through Hollywood's false promises. Or so he thought.

Then Alyson returned with a little girl at her side
When a pair of wondrous, blue eyes stared at him for the first time, Marc's cynical armor crumbled, and his life underwent movielike changes.

But, even then, things were not as they appeared
Because Hollywood gets so many things wrong.
