Curtain Call (Part 1)
After graduating college, we all express our (excitement.) Most of the time we sound like this “Watch out world, here I come”, but not all of us see what’s really coming ahead. Those who are not lucky enough might not be showing the “world” what they’re really capable of. In some cases, it might not be luck; maybe the world has its own mind of filtering out what it wants and eliminates the (bad) ones
Mindy is a liberal arts major and an aspiring actress fresh out of college. She came from a middleclass family with 2 other siblings getting ready to enter college. She is engaged to Calvin her boyfriend of 4 1/2 years and plans to get married next year. In this kind of situation, finding a job is essential. She has applied to every job that related to her major, but was rejected one after another. A change of tactic would do her good, so she applied for other jobs. She applied to be in human resource, an assistant, a manager because she has had experience with management and other non – acting related jobs. After 6 months of not having any luck, she ran into Melvin who is one of her close friends who’s in town for his dad’s birthday. They both caught up with each other and mentioned each other’s situation. Mindy found out that Mel moved to New York and has landed an acting role in Broadway
Mindy and Mel have been friends since they were in 3rd grade. They went to high school and college together and even had the same aspirations. Being a fellow actor, they both understood each other. They’ve always had each other’s back. Their friends even thought that they could be a couple. Mel has always been very convincing. He asked Mindy to maybe try New York and see what the city has to offer her. As a good friend, she knows that he’s looking out for her and knows that he had been in the same situation. She decides to think about it.
She knew that she had to pass this decision through her family first especially her fiancée. The next day, she (nervously) drove to his apartment knowing that Calvin won’t be too happy about what she was going to tell him. When she arrived, he greeted her with (enthusiasm.)
Calvin: “So are you excited today?”
Mindy was clueless as to what he was talking about, and just gave him a bewildered reaction.
Calvin: “It’s our 5 year anniversary, did you forget?
Mindy: “I’m so sorry dear; I’ve just been really (stressed out. )I just got out of college, I’m looking for a job, but nobody would hire me. It’s so( frustrating”)
Calvin: “Don’t worry, you’ll get through it. It’s only a matter of time.”
Mindy: “Easy for you to say, you have a career, you’re an engineer, you’ve got everything laid out already.”
Calvin: “I’m just trying to comfort you”
Mindy: “I know”
Mindy didn’t know that he prepared dinner, and planned out the whole evening for (perfection.) She didn’t want to ruin the night, so she put aside her problem and just enjoyed the rest of the day. After dinner, they went to Gateau Maison for wine and dessert. They then decided to take a stroll at the park. Meanwhile, Mindy is still thinking about how she’s going to tell him about New York, and at the same time Melvin happened to be at the park doing his weekend jogging. Mindy sees Mel approaching them, afraid that he might mention his offer to her; she tried to pull Calvin away and ignore Mel. Too late, he already saw Mel, and was waving at him. They laughed and talked, and at the end Mel was in a hurry so they decided to part ways. Mindy was so relieved that he didn’t mention anything about the offer, and just as he was leaving:
Melvin: “Oh, Mindy by the way, have you decided if you want to move to New York?”
Calvin’s face turns from (cheery to baffled.)
Mindy: “Umm, I’ll let you know.”
All of a sudden, a (perfect) night has (turned into gray.) She was not expecting this to happen. She explained to him her situation, and how she might want to try expanding her options. Calvin knows he can’t go with her, and definitely can’t stop her. That night ended in a (sour note. )His hopes of marrying her soon has (crumbled), even the (tiniest flake of imagination has been dissolved.)
Calvin: “I guess we’ll see what happens.”
Mindy left without saying anything.

Curtain Call..continued
The next day, she called Melvin and told him how she’s still unsure. She even mentioned what had happened the night before. However, Melvin still ended up convincing her.
Melvin: “It will be worth it. Every now and then, we have to sacrifice first before we are rewarded. I’m leaving on Wednesday, till then you can stay with me until you find a place.”
Mindy agrees to go.
That Tuesday night, Calvin called Mindy and decided to accept the fact that he can’t really do anything about it. They agreed on staying in touch with each other.
Mindy and Melvin arrives in New York. Mindy wanted to make sure that she finds a place as soon as possible because she feels uneasy being under the same roof with Melvin. The next day, she was able to find a place. Finally her luck was turning around. She thought maybe it was the right decision to move after all. Monday arrives and she finally moves to her own place.
Calvin hasn’t been coping with the events that have happened recently. Because of this, he lost his job, and has been seeing a therapist. He hasn’t been sleeping quite a lot either so he’s been taking sleeping pills to help him with his problem. His family even thinks that he has been acting crazy. He’s been getting really angry easily lately. He didn’t want to let Mindy know about his situation.
Mindy on the other hand has been doing great. Its almost like her luck and Calvin’s luck switched. Mindy finally landed a role and in the same play with Melvin. One night she sees Calvin in the audience and wasn’t even aware about his visit. All of a sudden they hear a scream. The audience applauded, but the casts were confused. 10 minutes later sirens can be heard and blue and red lights are reflected on the glass windows. The play was stopped, the audience was asked to leave except for the cast. Somebody has called the police because they found a dead body backstage.
Mindy finally got the chance to talk to Calvin and asked him what he was doing here.
Melvin: “It will be worth it. Every now and then, we have to sacrifice first before we are rewarded. I’m leaving on Wednesday, till then you can stay with me until you find a place.”

Character Obituary
...So here is Melvin's Character Obituary. I also decided that his name is Heath D. Melvin...Read on to find out why he is named the way he is named.
Heath D. Melvin(Curtain Call)
Heath Melvin died in New York, NY on January 1, 2017 after battling his split personality and ending in suicide. His body was found in an empty theater on a stage where he had his final act.
Heath was born on June 10, 1990 in Terre Haute, Indiana. He was the only child of Lisa and John Melvin who both worked in the field of Medicine. Heath’s childhood was never full of love. His parents didn’t much affection when he was growing up. Mindy was his best friend since childhood who he shared interests with. Both went to high school and college together.
Heath fell in love with his career. This is how he flushes out the emotions that have been building up throughout his life. Heath is a known method actor. In fact, he took it so seriously that he was accepted into a mental facility. His roles don’t only happen behind the curtains, but also in the outside where he lives in his role. He played a major role in “Phantom of the Opera”. He was also the president of a group called “Actors Guild”. Even though he lived a busy life, he donated some of his time into an organization called “Hope for Cancer” where he inspired children with cancer.
There will be a public calling at the Eternal Life Chapel this Friday at 10:00 a.m. followed immediately by a private funeral ceremony at the Glass Gardens. Memorial contributions can be made to the Hope for Cancer fund to help children with cancer.
