Setting The Scene

I could see the filming site way off in the distance. Bits and pieces of it anyway, jutting out into view further down the trail. Props, backdrops, and some shuffling figures here and there indicative of quite a substantial gathering. 

Unlike Amanda, I was in no particular rush to get to set. I prefer to at least take the time first to relish the last few moments of free will I still have left before I render myself completely subservient to some madman with a vision for the rest of the afternoon. 

Luckily, I had company. Hyper, occasionally obnoxious, but welcomed company nonetheless. 

"By the by, Big Man, you heard the news yet?" 

Tyler whirled his eyes at me like he was wearing big giant googly goggles the way he had them opened so wide. When it came to news, and especially when it comes from Tyler—the two are most often interlinked with each other.
