The Grinch’s Catwalk

Author: Lily Jiang

“Good morning to all of America! This is Chad, your host, and this is … Celebrity News! Hot off the press, the Grinch, seen CATWALKING on a stage in New York! Karen, tell me what’s happening over there.” 

“Currently in New York, things are wild! Fangirls are lining up to get a glimpse of the Grinch, and modeling agents are currently trying to stalk him down!”

“Help me understand, why was the Grinch catwalking?”

“The Grinch was actually invited on another news channel to catwalk on a stage.”

“And tell me, how did this blow up over night?”

“This video of the Grinch catwalking on a stage has been hot all over social media! The hashtag, ‘#MaketheGrinchaModel’ has been trending, with more than a billion people following the hashtag! Even former President Donald Trump has expressed his deep yearning for the Grinch to become a model.”

“Well, that’s been Celebrity News! Don’t forget to watch all our other news videos on CelebrityNewsILovetheGrinch.com!”

“ARGHHH!” The Grinch reclined on his crusty, mold-green bed, tightly hugging his angry face pillow. His ghastly feet were placed on top of his dog, and the Grinch was glaring, seething with rage, at his media manager.

“I’m really sorry, Sir Lancelot Beautiful Grinch, but you MUST not leave this house!”

“I don’t care if you’re sorry or not,” the Grinch said with sass, “but I will not be confined to this house! I have things to do, unlike you. I have a life, and I need to actually LIVE it!” 

The media manager shook his head, rolling his eyes. “Then what have you been doing for the past twenty years?” 

The Grinch twisted his wrinkly head 360 degrees and looked directly into his media manager’s spectacular eyes. He smiled.

“Get. Out. Now.”

The media manager pretended to wipe away his tears and sniffled. 

“How could you kick me out? After all these years of effort, love, and devotion, you dispose of me like a piece of trash-” “You are trash.” “and even after all of this, I still love you. Oh, woe is me! I shall forever miss you, Sir Lancelot Beautiful Grinch. I love yo-”

“GET OUT! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE AGAIN!” the Grinch shrieks, while chucking his poor angry face pillow to slam right into his media agent’s blue, chiseled face. 

Turning towards the door, the media agent grinned wickedly and said, “You’ll get your wish soon enough.”

“QUICKLY! IT’S THE GRINCH’S MEDIA MANAGER!”

Hundreds of fangirls, model agents, and news reporters are flocked outside the Grinch’s house, desperate to catch a glimpse of their beloved Grinch. 

“OH MY GOSH! IS THE GRINCH GOING TO COME OUT?” a wild fangirl screams. 

“No, he is not, for his own safety.” the media manager smiles graciously. 

“Then when is he coming out, Mr. Squidward?” 


Never.”
