Cyl had finally accomplished his dream of fame. He was the object of countless photographs. It wasn’t easy. He had to weather many storms to get where he was, sacrificing almost everything for his dream. But he had made it.

Now that he was famous, Cyl thought back to the years he spent underground as a drainage pipe. And before that, a Pringles can. And that one awful January as a Slinky. An ill-fated Christmas present for Danny Demolition.

It had been a tough climb, but none of it mattered now. He was a lighthouse, and no one would ever ignore him again.

Stock Photo Stories give you the real stories behind the photos. That I might have made up.
