Our story opens with an inquisitive young guy surviving his boring job, and he then comes across something rather intriguing, and our story breathes life into itself. We've a beautiful tormented soul now in our story and the hints of a troubled past. We just had a brush with the unexplained, and the story is picking up steam, and our actor is actually pursuing the phenomenon willingly now. The madness of this supernatural act in motion is just too much fun, and it's only getting wildly weirder as well. The finale of our story took me on an emotional and even painful journey and is devastatingly heartbreaking in my eyes.
