Act Naturally Prologue

The young twenty year old woman, barley out of university stood outside the door of the offices of The Liverpool Echo, her new place of employment. She swallowed the slight lump in her throat that rose as she stared up at the small sign marking the building. This was her first job, and she was to be writing for their pop culture section as the music columnist. As she stood in front of the office she had no idea where that job would take her. Maybe it would lead to her having a big break into the journalism world, or maybe she would find something unexpected, almost unimaginable.

On a different side of the city a young man was sitting behind a drum set lightly tapping out a rhythm. He looked around at the other members of the band, wondering how he could stand them much longer. By now the man had been with the band for almost four years, and he was getting honestly tired of it. Originally he had been great friends with the front man Rory, but now the two fought constantly on this. Rory was always yelling at him about his drumming and his lack of support for the band, and he shouted right back that he was doing fine. Having the two of them at each others throats was also not good for the band.

For a couple months now he had been thinking of just leaving the band. And today seemed to solidify his thoughts. So after that practice was over he would approach Rory and tell him that his drumming for them was over. This was a huge decision but he knew that in the long run it would be much better for him. Now all he had to do was look for a new gig around Liverpool. Which luckily for him would be easy, since there were plenty of bands around Mersyside that played. After today he knew his life would be changed for ever, and he was almost certain that that change would be for good.

Neither of the two of them knew how their paths would cross and how important it was. All they knew right now was that the future was looking bright, and the possibilities were endless.
