It's a bleak night, the rain coming down in sheets with the wind 
blowing wildly.  Lighting flashes off in the distance with 
thunder rolling soon after.  The outskirts of Irvine CA. are like 
a ghost town with several old buildings and former factories that 
have long been closed down.  Over a hill a small light can be 
seen moving closer and closer.  Two darkened figures move with 
the light as a conversation is in place…

Teenage Forumer #1- Dude, it's like freaking cold out here, what 
in the hell are we doing?

Teenage Forumer #2- Man, I told you, we are here to find out if 
the rumors I heard are true.

Teenage Forumer #1- It's not out here man, and we can't see 
anything, lets go back dude.

Teenage Forumer #2- No!  I know it's true, and we are going to 
find it.

Teenage Forumer #1 (Grumbles to himself)- Damn it, it's colder 
than heck out here.

As the two teenagers walk, the flashlight they are carrying 
suddenly starts to flash on and off…

Teenage Forumer #1- Dang it, I knew these batteries wouldn't last 
out here in this cold.

(Lightning flashes in the distance)

Teenage Forumer #2- Here let me see it. * While reaching his hand 
out taking the flashlight *

He starts to smack the flashlight several times in the palm of 
his hand to try to get the flashlight to work again.  It briefly 
flashes to life, then dims down again.  He hits the flashlight 
hard one last time, sending the flashlight into eternal darkness…

Teenage Forumer #1- Oh good job man, now how are we going to see?

Teenage Forumer #2- Damn you sound like a little girl, why don't 
you just head back since you're a sissy.

Teenage Forumer #1- Fine I will, and it's stupid being out here 
anyway, you and I both know it's not out here.

Teenage Forumer #2 (As he walks away from his friend, turns 
around)- Oh it is, and I will find it!

The second forumer walks away from the first, trudging over a 
hill and disappears…

Teenage Forumer #1- Idiot, he actually believes he can find it.  
Ha, it doesn't exist.  It will never be around again.  Hey what 
was that!

An owl hoots in a nearby tree as the rain begins to pour, with 
the wind blowing harder.  Lightning flashes down by a tree, 
knocking it down scaring the teenager out of his wits as the 
thunder bellows its war cry…

Teenage Forumer #1 (Nervously)- Heh heh, umm, wait up dude!

The teenager runs after his friend and finally catches up with 
him…

Teenager Forumer #2- Hey man, I thought you were leaving?

Teenager Forumer #1- Sorry man, maybe you are right (As he looks 
over his shoulder)

Teenager Forumer #2- Yeah sure, okay.

The two continue to walk by the abandoned buildings, looking in 
many of them.  Finally at the edge of the factory district they 
come across and old brick building.  A light swings back and 
forth in front of a door, the rain slams off the red bricks 
illuminating them under the single swinging light.  The teenagers 
walk to the door and look above them at a swinging wooden sign 
hanging just under the light, the boys, cold and shivering, make 
their way to the light…

Teenager Forumer #1 (With his eyes wide and his mouth open, he 
looks at the sign)- Oh my, it, it's, you were right dude.

Teenage Forumer #2 (Smiling contently to himself)- I told you, it 
is here.

The boys stand looking up at the wooden sign swinging below the 
light, their being cold, and fear of being in a strange place 
evaporate quickly as the stare at the sign.  Six solid letters 
are scrolled carefully on the wooden sign, with two words under 
it…..They read…..
