Growing up, we're always told we can be whatever we want to; no one ever mentions that that's only true if you're rich or your dream is to work the counter at the local movie theater, and that’s where I come in. I am the Head Ticket Sales Representative at the Southwick County Movie Theater! My name is Naoise Breenan, it’s pronounced Neesha but, most of my friends call me Shia. I grew up in this one horse town mostly keeping to myself and staying within my circle of about three friends. School was always quiet and uneventful. Life in this town was simple, cold and miserable. Four days ago was my 18th birthday, that’s when things started changing for me. I had a quiet life. I spent most of my time either at the Theater or the Library since I was 10. Then on the eve of my 18th birthday, I was sitting in the ticket booth waiting for the three or four regulars to come in and that’s when it happened.
Lore has it, many years ago, the Kingdom of Euphoria was a beautiful and amazing place. The Kingdom followed through with its name and was paradise to many. The royalties were charming, outgoing people who always had the people’s best interest at heart. The grass was this and green, the trees large and healthy, the rivers and lakes sparkled and were so clear you could see to the bottom. Crime was an all time low. Euphoria was indeed heaven on earth. But, alas, things would not remain the same.
It was an eve like none other before it. She walked down the street keeping her face tucked behind the lapel of her favorite long black coat. The wind was starting to pick up. A storm was on the rise and she needed to find some sort of shelter. Up ahead was Kavorc, which used to be the best Travel Lodge in the Three Sectors. 'As soon as I reach Kavorc, I will rest, and then move on once the sun rises.' she thought. The winds blew harder, knocking over trashcans and throwing the trash inside them out onto the street like confetti. The snow came down faster and harder, that of which felt like pebbles crashing into her skin. The storm grew stronger. As she approached the building, she could see a light inside. 'Oh thank the Goddess, I won't be alone.' thoughts swirled around in her mind of how to introduce herself.
"Run. Keep running, never stop."
