HOLLYWOOD

There once lived a great, magnificent Beast named 'Hollywood', that would fill its nights entertaining weary travellers with amazing tales by a warm campfire.

Then one fateful evening; it decided to devour the travellers and steal all of their gold.

Now this Creature simply lurks in the darkness; lights a small fire…and waits.
Hunger and greed; its only companions.

Now, I understand that showbusiness is a 'business', ...but what the hell happened to the 'show'?These days, the BUSINESS is written with massive, illuminated, flashing neon letters that leave no hope of the show ever being noticed.

Something's gone wrong, folks.)
