Chapter 2
For Reasons Unknown
As soon as Andy set foot in Sam's Town, he decided this is as good a place as any to begin his soul searching. His first few days were rough. He didn't know how to handle this new environment. Everything isn't as easy as it was at home. He spent many long days observing others and learning how to get by. He spent many cold nights looking for an appropriate spot on the ground to rest. Eventually, he managed to catch a free ride and acquire a motel vouture. Now that Andy had a place to live, he started looking for a job. He searched high and wide, but nobody would hire him. No place would look past his awkward social skills and lack of street smarts. Andy had no idea what to do when when the potential employers played the role of a disgruntled customer. And when asked what to do when he and fellow employee disagree, Andy replied, "A fellow is a friend. How could a friend and I possibly disagree?" He decided he needed to do something to make this better. Besides, this is the whole reason he started his adventure. To explore and learn. Yo get by on his own. He walked all about Sam's Town to see how people react and interact with one another. Soon enough, Andy gathered enough information and managed to get a job building fascinating machines in a huge factory. He also earned enough money and purchased a decent sized appartment. This morning, Andy starts his day as usual, getting ready for work, but, for some reason, he paused in front of the mirror and gasped when he spotted a stranger. The man he sees isn't the young, fun loving, simple man he had grown to know so well. What stands before him is a man who looks a little bit older. And just a little bit colder. Shock and curiosity takes over again as he steps a little bit closer to the man in the mirror. Andy doesn't know what could be wrong and why he's not happy. He's on the right track. The track he set out for. He's in the amazing Sam's Town, away from the boring ho-hum town he once knew. But for reasons unknown, Andy doesn't see the person he hoped to. His heartbeat feels odd, his lips move differently, and his eyes stare blankly at him. Andy stumbles out of the bathroom and sits down in an open chair and thinks some more. What could possibly be wrong? Why aren't I happy? What am I missing? Andy just didn't know what he could do. He didn't feel good on the inside anymore...
