I'm John Brown. I'm twenty-eight and I live  With my mom. My height is five eleven  And I think I'm blood type O-positive. I like cars, vodka, mac & cheese, and toast. There is nothing too special about me.  I am average at best, and I am Okay with that. The thing is that one day  I was chillin on the couch thinking and... The thought hit me! That damn thought hit me! Think  About it, the bloody secretive place Is called Area fifty-one. FIFTY-ONE! That has to mean that there are at least let's Say fifty other places like it right? Who knows how many more come after the  Fifty-one. For sure fifty-one is not  The last one. Who ends something on such a  Weird number? Mommy...mommy I learnt to  Count to fifty-one!

It might be a good thing.  We might not be able to handle it....

GUATEMALAN HOME – DAY The wide camera shot moves focus from the early sun rising above the tall treetops and moves downward, a flock of birds pass by, and the camera keeps going down to focus on the base of a grassy hill. The birds chirp in the background as the camera begins to slowly go up the lush green hill following a neat cement driveway when…the camera zooms into the loud tires of a pickup speeding up the base of the hill.
