The Confessors (Short Short)

As Madame Pompadour, a famous model, actress, author, and entrepreneur, woke up and was applying her makeup, her butler announced a visitor.

"There are three groups of confessors here since this morning. First, politicians, then film directors, and finally, though he is just one person, a commoner who seems to be a fan of yours. Normally I would turn them away, but they insisted they would leave after just one look, so I gave in."

"Very well. Let them all into the room."


Please run for the House of Representatives from our faction. If you are elected, we will give you the ministerial position of your choice.

Everyone is waiting for your film appearance. Please star in the greatest new film in cinematic history. We will pay hundreds of millions.

Pon-chan, it's me. It's Taro. I've come to pick you up. I've gotten a steady job, and although it's small, I've built a house for us to live in together. There's a garden, and I have a puppy and a little bird. I'll cherish you for the rest of my life, so please come with me.

Madame shed tears and clung to Taro, saying, "You were late." The butler chased away the other guests and bowed, saying, "Congratulations." Madame told the butler he could have the house, and she left with nothing but herself, arm in arm with Taro.
