His Muse - Wonka Movie 2023

Ch 1, Prologue

Willy was just doing his usual tinkering and thinking for an idea of a new chocolate. That is when I finally got the courage to question, "Am I helpful Willy? Why do you want to take me with you? What could I possibly help you with?"

He stares at me for a moment, analyzing my worry and asks, "Give me a color."

Used to his antics I heave a sigh and say, "Yellow"

He regards me warmly and asks then, "Now name me a dream"

I know how peculiar that question sounds every time he asks me, as if he knows that I will answer him regardless, disregarding all logic. So, after contemplating for only a few moments I say, "I want to fly"

He softly smiles at me and turns back to his tinkering. Mixing some of that and adding some of this, a moment later he presents me with a yellow oval chocolate egg. Before I can ask, he says, "I give you the Hoverchoc! Eat it and you can fly. See? you're plenty useful to me!"

Marveling at his wonder, I say, "But that's all you Willy. I may say these things, but you are the one who makes the chocolate." I realize that I sound almost petulant at this stage but I don't care. I want to be helpful and Willy's insistence is not helping!

He puts the chocolate aside, grabs both of my hands in his and looks me in the eyes. "You give me ideas. Without you I would be stuck. You say you're not helpful but that's not right! You ARE helpful.

Because you are my Muse...."
