Dare To Differ
(Prologue)
We open our scene with a conversation between two characters.
A dialogue between a father and his son. They live in a world where being
different is a crime, and people who are unique are isolated.
"Now son, heed my words!
I speak the honest truth.
This is advice that you should carry
All throughout your youth."
"Don't dare to be different,
Don't dare to stand out!
Bad things come to those
Who wonder about."
"You see that girl that is crying in strife.
Son... she is crying because she is about to lose her life."
"She wears her hair different
She talks about change.
My boy, don't dare to be different
Being different is strange."
"My boy... this is why
The girl must die!"
