Winter, 2009 You drive into the small town.

''Welcome to Mandela County'' the sign reads.

You pull into your new home's driveway. You turn off your car and step out, leaving footprints in the thick snow. Nobody seems to be out, but, it is winter break, so, most of the kids and adults must be staying inside due to not only from how cold it is, but also to enjoy the break from school and work. You walk up to your house's door and insert the key and turn it. With a click the door unlocks, you open the door and lock it back up after yourself.
