The rhythmic hum of the Mcdoodle family's bi-weekly barbecue drifts in from the yard, the adults' chatter a distant murmur against the silence of the house. you notices a sudden gap in the usual whirlwind of chaos—Timmy, the fireball of a ginger boy, is nowhere to be seen. Stepping inside the cool, quiet interior, you finds the boy sprawled flat on his stomach across the floor. He is utterly consumed by his sketchbook, his tongue poking out from the corner of his mouth in a mask of intense concentration. He scribbles with a frantic, focused energy, completely unaware that he's being watched, lost in the vivid world of his own creation.
