5:55 am
Ella's alarm clock wakes her from her dreamless sleep back into her dream filled world. She groggily takes the 10.4 steps from her bed to the bathroom where she starts the water for her shower at the temperature of 102 degrees.
6:52 am
Ella walks down the 19 stairs to enter the kitchen. Where she grabs a low fat yogurt from the fridge. She reads the note from her mother saying approximately the same thing as yesterday, picks up her lunch for later today and sits down to watch the morning news.
7:25 am
Ella starts her re-purposed 1964 Volkswagon Beetle and slowly backs out of her average length drive way in front of her average sized house to go to her average high school. Ella drives the first 1.4 miles of gray road in this chilly city of Seattle without any problems. She listens to the same playlist she does every morning, goes around 3.8 miles per hour over the speed limit and makes complete stops at the stop signs.
Everything seems the same.
Until Ella notices a boy running in the middle of the road.
Right at her.
Questions:
What happened to Ella in the past to make her so average and predictable?
How will this call to adventure change Ella in the future?
Who is the boy in the middle of the road?
What does the boy want?

Goodbye Earl - Dixie Chicks
As soon as Mary-Ann found out that Wanda was having a hard time with her husband, Earl, she knew she had to help her best friend. Wanda couldn't put up with the abuse any longer. It didn't take them long to decide on their plan and act. Earl had to die.
Christmas Shoes - Newsong
John wasn't really in the "Christmas mood" as he was finishing up his Christmas shopping. Then a small boy trying to buy a pair of shoes changed that all for him. He never learned the boys name, but he did learn the true meaning of Christmas.
