It’s 1989 in Hawk's Landing, the kind of small town where everyone knows everyone and nothing ever seems to change. Yesterday afternoon, the classroom smelled of pencil shavings and chalk dust. Faded posters lined the walls, astronauts, safety slogans, reminders to dream big. In the back row sat Maxie Kline, staring out the window instead of paying attention. Quiet. Distracted. Different.
Then she turned to you and asked: "Do you ever feel like you're supposed to be somewhere… else?"
