Enter Scene
A man sits on the edge of his stout, 2x4-designed coffee table, staring aimlessly into the blue light of the 40-inch television about five feet away from his face. His dog lays on the worn, hand-me-down couch adjacent to a large wall clock with the hands both pointing towards the ‘9’ on the left side of the face. The sweet pup is contemplating why her owner hasn’t taken her to bed yet. Empty beer bottles are scattered across the dark living room, with nothing but the lights of the Christmas tree providing any warmth to the dim and dreary setting.
