Celebrity

Fame waxes and wanes, and those who get a taste for it find it sweet, and addictive. You have drunk deeply, finding yourself at the center of attention. Whether it was a lasting fame, or a swift rise to stardom followed by a hasty descent, your status as a celebrity has come to define your life, at least to you. Of course, all fame is fickle, and your descent from stardom defines you as much as your ascent. Do you quietly shuffle into obscurity, or do you cling to relevance with the death grip of a drowning man. For the latter, you may decide that there’s ultimately no difference between fame and infamy.
