Scene 2

The knocking became louder and louder as she approached the cellar door. This door had been locked ever since she came to the Gien residence.

But after the horrific night of her husbands violent drinking living their was not a option. A not so great bonus is that he will know were they are. She cant take that chance. She had a distant uncle that lived in Wisconsin a decade or two ago. In the small town of Plainfield nothing really happened. The residents just lived out their lives in the dullest way possible, cause no trouble or break their cycle of living. A massive change of the hustle and bustle of the streets of San Francisco no horns beeps or people shouting just calm stillness. Maggie's new place of living is on the outskirts of the town on an abandoned farm house. The fields are desolate and isolated from the rest of the town. The house looks deep-rooted and timeworn, the large farm house
