Harsh Mistress

"Corey Williams, warehouse worker that will someday be performing in front of sold-out stadiums entertaining his fans. Fame, fortune and an endless parade of women - All this comes with a price, a price he's not ready for."

Corey comes across the guitar of one late Bobby McCanes, a rock star that died very young. He purchases this instrument, it brings out the talent that he hoped he had because prior to the guitar, he couldn't sing a lick. "You suck," a friend tells him and Corey says that when the time comes: "I'll be good."

The guitar gives him the talent, but it requires one thing. Corey doesn't realize this until it is too late and even then, he is consumed by the success that this guitar gives to him. What the guitar gives, it always takes. "There you have it: Not a long ride, but a weird one. Lived fast and died young. Warning: Make sure you have the talent to back up your dreams - ask Corey, he's on tour in the Twilight Zone." Roger's rating: A-
