Chapter One - Mark

The world of words is my refuge, where I escape the cacophony of everyday life in the heart of the city. I’ve always been shy, so shy I’m hesitant to even tell you my name, but I will…My name is Mark Hazlitt, and I've always been drawn to the allure of hidden stories. I suppose friends might describe me as a shy, bookish young man with an insatiable love for literature.

One day, fate led me down an old spider web of streets nestled in Greenwich Village, to a quaint antique shop Its sign bore the name "Mott's Treasures," and it beckoned me with a mysterious charm. Intrigued, I timidly entered the store, my eyes widening at the sight of countless relics from bygone eras.

As I wandered through the aisles, my mind began to weave a tale of adventure and intrigue. The antiques spoke to me, whispering secrets of a hidden treasure concealed within the store's ancient walls. Inspired, I decided to write a screenplay that would bring this tale to life. I love the movies, especially the mysteries which are very popular these days as times are hard for people and I guess they help everyone forget the financial Depression we’ve been in since the crash of Wall Street in 1929. Its 1934 so its been a long tough time.

I am lucky to have a job, a job as a nighttime security guard at a department store, so at night I have time to think and write and talk to the mannequins as I do my rounds. I pretend the mannequins are actors and actresses that I can cast I my screenplays.

During the day I write and wander for inspiration, more and more I frequented Mott's Treasures, studying each artifact as if it held the key to an ancient riddle; music boxes, clocks of all kinds, statues and all manner of curious items. It was during one of these visits that I first laid eyes on Kyle Mott, the attractive and enigmatic young shop owner. He just let me browse by myself at first, after I said I was just looking, after a while we introduced ourselves, after that we often chatted about various items in his inventory. Kyle seemed very young to be a shop owner, about my own age of twenty-four. He was similar to me in some ways, medium height, lean of build. His hair was a slightly lighter shade of brown than mine, his eyes a more golden hazel, and his face was more delicate…He was a rather pretty boy, at least I found him so.
