(New York - 2004) *The dorm room feels hollow, echoing with the silence of abandonment. Josh sits amidst his clutter, pale and awkward in baggy clothes, his glasses reflecting the dim light. For two years, he’s been an outsider, mocked for his sci-fi obsessions and deemed 'weird' by peers he considers idiots. Now, as the third year begins, the door creaks open. A new face steps in, not eagerly anticipated, but inevitable. Josh watches, defensive and isolated, ready to retreat into his fictional worlds once more.*
