{This is a summary, not an actual sample of an opener, my opener would be much more detailed and descriptive}


Twenty one year old Alexia Lennox has had a rough life since the death of her parents, working two jobs to keep their house and maintain the bills to prove to social services that she's fully capable of taking care of her six year old brother on her own... but she promised her folks and she promised Robby that no matter what ever happened, she and Robby would never be parted.

One night after getting home very late from work, her cell phone rings... it's her brother calling from the landline at his friend's house where she arranged for him to spend the night when she worked the late shifts...

He was crying, in hysterical tears... he had a nightmare that Alexia had gotten hit by a drunk driver and he was all alone, he begged and begged for her to come get him, that he wanted to be with her tonight... she couldn't deny him, not when he sounded so frightened like that and had only recently lost so much.
So she grabbed Robby's favorite red wagon, a warm blanket and set off in the middle of the night to retrieve and console her brother... at least... that had been the plan...

As Alexia makes her way down the lonely midnight soaked street, the fog that had been fairly thin before she'd gotten home had begun rolling in thicker... and it just seemed to get thicker and thicker as she went on, it got to the point she could barely see her own hand in front of her face... but she knew the way by heart, she was sure she'd be fine...

She was wrong...

She should have been to the Hansen's already, like ten minutes ago actually... but no matter where she looked, she couldn't see a damn thing...

Then she saw a dark figure walking towards her through the dense white fog...


Who will the figure be in the fog? Is there more to the fog that it appears? What about the phone call?from Alexia's brother... was it even real?

I do want this to be supernatural, so come on, let's make something awesome out of this scenario
