Hour and A Half Adventure

Never judge a book by its movie. ~J.W. Eagan

The screen flickers on.

A hero.
A quest.
Loyal friends.
The wide expanse of landscape opens before them.
A dream unrealized.
Possibilities unsure.
They start on their journey, travel miles unseen.
Danger awaits. Lurks. They battle.
Injured, they win but at a cost. Worth the cost? The question echoes.
Limping, they continue. Hope still burning.
On and on. Some are lost. Others are found.
Meeting. Leaving. Growing.
A new man is born.
They reach their goal.
A final challenge. A final test.
Forces of good and evil fight to triumph. Who will win the day?
Evil seems stronger. Will they? Will they?
All seems without hope. The hero is almost gone.
The hero searches inside. Finds more. More than himself.
He rises. Drives back the evil. Banishes it from existence.
It has gone. It is over.
Good has triumphed.
Celebration. Wonder. Joy.
The return home. Heroes changed.
Life with new meaning.
A tender kiss.
Hearts swell.

The credits role.
Music plays.
The screen fades.
Fickers off...
