"It's another perfect day in this sunny little town. Everyone has all gathered in the town square to watch Mayor Jon Black give his thank you speech. He was elected Mayor again, he's been the mayor for almost 30 years. He is standing up on the small stage, beside him are his wife and son. They are there to show their support, and to show everyone how happy they are. If you look close enough however, you can see Carol Black's eyes hold no joy, they are cold and empty. Her smile is not bright and cheerful, but forced and unforgiving. Archer Black stands tall and proud, but when you look into his eyes there's only pain and torment. If you look close enough at the small family, you see the cracks beginning to form. If only they knew what was to come."All Rights Reserved
