Katie Hanson lives in a small town called Dynamite. Dynamite was a boom town in the early 1900's. The town mass produced dynamite. The mayor of the town gave Dynamite it's name. Now the only thing keeping Dynamite and it's people alive are the small dynamite factories still in business.The total population is 250. Everyone knows everyone so when you screw up it wont be long before every person in town knows. 

Katie has always lived a rough life. Her parents never married and her brothers and sister were never the brotherly or sisterly caring type. Her dad, George Hanson, is in jail for dealing drugs and murder. Her mom, Arleen, pays the bills by sleeping with men and woman for money. Just your average every day prostitute. Katie's two sisters Alyssa and Nicole are the high school sluts. Katie and Alyssa are 17 and Nicole is 16. Katie and Alyssa are fraternal twins. Katie's three older brothers Jerry, Timmy, and Chris are in college. Jerry is the oldest at 21. Timmy and Chris are twins and 19.

 Katie is a senior in high school. She has pretty good grades while her sisters have to sleep with the teachers for their C average. Katie has a pretty dirty blonde hair color. Her hair just passes her chest and has a few waves in it. She's about average height and skinny. She has pretty emerald green eyes. She tans easily so her skin is always tanned. Alyssa is tall, blonde, and has beautiful piercing blue eyes. Her hair is just a few inches below shoulder length and is straight. She tans easily also. Nicole is average height and has long, straight black hair. Nicole takes after her father, George. Jerry has dirty blonde hair with dark brown eyes. Jerry is 6'2 and the tallest in the family. His long term girlfriend, Rebecca, has shoulder length honey blonde hair, in college, and is 5'7. Timmy is applying for colleges to not only get out of Dynamite but so he can be a doctor. Timmy has black hair and bright green eyes. He is 5'9. Chris is also applying for colleges so he can be an officer in the Marines when he enlists. Chris has no idea what he wants to get his degree in, he just wants to be an officer. Katie, Alyssa, and Nicole all go to Dynamite High School.

The schools mascot is a stick of dynamite. Katie has a few close friends and a couple of friends who aren't so close. Alyssa and Nicole don't exactly have real friends but no one would dare to do anything to them. While Alyssa and Nicole are the school sluts they do have boyfriends. Alyssa's boyfriend is Justin Clark, the quarterback of the football team and star basketball player. Nicole's boyfriend is Christian Williams. Christian is the linebacker of the football team and goalie for the hockey team. Katie just broke up with her boyfriend Charlie Jones. She had caught him cheating on her with Alyssa. Katie didn't tell Justin because she knew he wouldn't really care. Katie didn't cry or get angry. She was as calm as she could be and told Taylor, " It's over." Taylor followed  her around school and town for a few days before he finally gave up winning her back. However, Katie still can't shake the feeling the someone is following her.

Katie's POV

I woke up to my cell phone ringing. As I looked at the screen it said RESTRICTED CALLER. I hardly ever got restricted calls. I answered it and tried to sound sleepy and not curious as I said hello. The caller was breathing heavily as he said, " Hello, sweetheart. I hope I didn't wake you. I just wanted to call and say pretty you look in your bright green sweatshirt and booty shorts." I looked down at my clothes then over to my window. I slowly got up and as I neared the windows moved to the right. I lifted up one of the blinds and looked outside. I couldn't see anyone. The rain started to come down faster. I hadn't even noticed it until now. All I could hear was the thunder, the occasional lightning strike, and the rain beating down on my window. I slowly backed away towards my bed and asked the mystery man, "Who are you? What do you want with me? Did Charlie put you up to this!?" The man laughed and said, "No, my dear. I'm called Father by my friends, Time by strangers, Tick by my family, and Tock by my followers. No, I'm not clock. But, you can call me Steve. Now tell me, what am I? Also I've wanted you for a long time now and soon you'll be all mine. I'm here to make you feel wanted. You should known I want to make you feel safe. You should also know, I'm always watching you my love." Then "Steve" hung up.
