One night Steve was walking home and then all of sudden the air was filled with a light blue mist. He was on the other side of the street in front of the school building. He looked around him the street lights had a different look and the street was laid in brick. He looked up at the front of the building it had a huge sign and lights shinning below the sign. In big letters Carnation Movie Company each side of the title had a drawing of a white carnation. He convince himsef he was not was drunk shared a bottle of wine with his girlfriend during dinner.
