This story takes place not too far from where you are.
Before you continue I want you to look around you.
I want you to study what's behind you, what's in front of you and what's on both sides of you.
This is the setting.
For my story to work I ask that you do not look around you again. The reason being is because I will be telling you the reality of what's going on around you as you read this story.
Enjoy.
