Middle of a Story [phosphate's challenge]

Scene is darkness. Nothing is visibible. Narrator begins speaking.

NARRATOR : It all begins “in the beginning.” Darkness. Nothing.

Small dots of light begin to slowly to show, appear to be stars in distance

NARRATOR : Then a little light comes.

More dots of light, now also in red, blue, green, and several other colors as opposed to just white.

NARRATOR : And then you find yourself somewhere that you can recognise, maybe.

As NARRATOR speaks the camera is panning in on the lights, as more and more of different colors appear. By the time NARRATOR has finished, it is not simply darkness or even little dots of light, but clearly New York City from a distance, lights making up building. Gentle music begins playing softly. As music plays camera begins zooming in quickly. Soon cars and people are visible, but nothing is moving, everything is frozen.

NARRATOR : And then you find yourself in the middle of a story.
