Dan Howell was a bit of an outcast. He didn't exactly have any friends and not many people liked him but he never could understand why.
He lived in the middle of nowhere, well, in a small town. It was small enough to walk downtown but big enough to not know everyone, it was a medium sized, small town. He lived right next to a train line. The trains would always shake the house and ruin his train of thought. This big-ish, small-ish town was just too small for Dan, too far away from it all, it was too afraid, he couldn't take it. Dan wanted a part in show business, Broadway or on TV, even just in a circus, anything that involved acting, Dan was the man... Hmm yes, I never should have said that...
He didn't have the most supportive family; his father left when he was 5 and his mother didn't seem to care about his future. That didn't seem to bother him though, he was determined to pursue his dreams. He needed to get away from this town and into the spotlight. But where to start?
