Chapter 1
The story begins in a small, suburban town, Atrial. The population is very small, and the town is very simple. The dreams there are small, and the destinies of the people are commonplace. Nothing exciting ever happens.
(The story begins with our character Trent, who is leaning against his window ledge and looking out across a field, staring at the sunset)
Trent: another day, another sunset. (sighs) another boring day in Atrial, woohoo…I'm so tired of being here. I think living here for 17 years is more than enough for any normal human being. Nothing ever happens here. Atrial doesn't stand out on any atlas, nor will you find us in a textbook. School's boring, I need something more. Something new.
(His cell phone beeps. Trent looks at it and receives a text message from Liv: Park tomorrow?)
Trent: Oh yes, Amity Park. We never go there. (texts back) Sure, why not. Sometimes it feels like Liv is the only person who actually understands me…
Mom: (screaming from down below) Trent! Dinner time!
Trent: (looking at his watch) 6:15. Right on schedule Mom, right on schedule.
(With a sigh, he forces himself from the window and heads out the door.)
