It was midnight, about three minutes past, when a fly came passing by a window, and got promptly squashed by a hand. The lady in question started shaking her hand erratically, causing the fly's mangled corpse to fly off her hand.
Somewhere, at the same time, the moon's eerie light caused a house's vivid blue roof to glow. The kid who lived in this house (who goes by the name of Connor) knew about this and went up on the roof to lie on the shingles and bathe himself in the luminescence of the nocturnal lamp. Rumors have then been going around that Connor has somewhat been mutated by the "excessive" exposure to moonlight, and consequently, had become more athletic than he did before (significant, since Connor never really considered himself to be an athletic person.
Three hours later, a man would try to carjack his neighbor's new sedan. A polished blue sheen and horsepower much greater than his own pitiful car, jealousy was the culprit in his actions. Unfortunately for him, the guard dog next door wasn't feeling sleepy at all. He was caught, arrested, and put to jail.
And a mile away from the prison is a small cabin situated just at the edge of the forest. It stood upon a hill, granting the owner a picturesque view of the city.
The owner would go by the name of Hal Harris.
Barely out of second grade, Hal had to quit school because of his mother's increasing suspicions about the other kids at his school. She greatly disapproved of her son's increasing introverted tendencies and wished that he would be pulled out of school as soon as possible. Declared unfit for any public education, Hal is taught by his uncle, the principal of another local school.
Hal was quite used to the idea of being alone. In fact, the only times he's never been alone is when he retreats into his imagination, where he is taught even more than his uncle could. In his world, a troll teaches him how to handle a seventy-pound club. The trees seem to sway back and forth without care, and it taught Hal the value of erratic rhythm. A school of fish taught him to swim--though it may be said that he already knew how to swim beforehand; what he's being taught is how to "think like a fish" and swim without care.
Because of this, Hal has trouble concentrating. His uncle notes how easily distracted he is, but comments positively whenever he's taught how to write, the moment when Hal's imagination really shines. His uncle remarks frequently on how he's never seen someone with such absurd ideas on life, but yet novel at the same
