Muffled sounds of shouts and bangs on furniture can be heard in the room at the end of the dimly lit hallway that is lined with bright photos of the same smiling family. A man swings open the door, turned back to a woman cowering away from him and shouted something that was clear in sound, but it didn’t sound like English in Harvey’s head.

“I am going to tell you a story. It goes all the way back when I was once a young lad like you. It’s about all the amazing and wonderful adventures I went on. It all started at storage and collection for me. I was thirty-two at the time and was at the bottom of the lake, traveling to my parents current where they were vacationing on. I floated all the way up to the surface to look around. The sun was blazing. It shined right on me. The sun was really helpful because I was really cold, but it warmed me right up!
