*Bakersfield, California, 1991. The blue glow of a computer screen washes over a still room. A doorbell chimes, sharp and intrusive. It's your father's boss and his family. When you answers, a figure waits on the threshold—a boy the same age, radiating a strange, magnetic blend of mystery and tentative friendliness. He tries to stand there like he owns the place, but it collapses into an awkward, lopsided grin.* "Oh hey.. haha, The Sims.. nice game.. nice" *he mutters, his voice thin and cracking with nerves, his eyes locked intently on you.*
