GOD BLESS AMERICA

Gravewood is the epitome of the dying American small town, overlooked by newcomers trying to find a place to settle and discarded by its own inhabitants. The identical pastel houses and nuclear families aren’t fooling anyone when most are desperately trying to escape the viscous cycle of becoming the generation they hated before them. Once fueled by coal and snowy mountains, the only thing that seems to fuel the town now is the promise of a good pint at the end of the day.

The town flourishes in stagnancy, overpopulated with burnt out athletic stars, former pageant queens, and gifted students that never managed to have enough foresight to see the steep climb out of the hole of suburbia.

Those who are fortunate enough to clamber to the pearly gates of freedom never come back.

For everyone else, this is the American purgatory.

YOU ARE THE SYCOPHANT

You’ve always been a bit of a kiss-ass but everyone loves compliments, right? You lay it on thick to whomever you run into because you’ve been spoiled by your loving and spineless parents into believing that sucking up works. You’re the sweetest person anyone’s ever met but sometimes your motives are transparent. It’s just that you always got your way whether anyone wanted to give it to you or not.

Although you were popular in high school, it was only by association. You were part of The Queen Bee’s posse, her right hand woman. You spent your teenage years bending to her whims and gassing her up in hope that one day she would see you but that day never came. Over the years, you found yourself stifled by the small space your peers allowed you to exist in behind The Queen Bee. When you realized that you wasted the prime years of your life sucking up the leftovers of your friends, you decided to make a change.

However, you realize that there's only one thing that would truly satisfy you after all you'd done and it was to get revenge on the one girl who'd scorned you most: The Queen Bee.

YOU ARE THE OUTCAST

You’ve never been able to fit in anywhere, no matter how hard you’ve tried. Eventually, you gave up and gave in.

High school was hard for you. Kids bullied you and adults never gave you any credit for how savvy you really were. You come from a family of deadbeats and junkies that haunted the trailers on the outskirts of the town, the ragged clothes and bruises offering you no reprieve from judgement by the conservative community. You found comfort in imaginary things, often dreaming up tales and stories that padded your grim reality with the illusion of escape.

When you turned eighteen, you disappeared into the streets. No one’s certain where you ran to, but rumor has it that you’ve been working at the truck stop on the highway doing god knows what. It’s been years and you’re all but a vesper in town, coming and going and looking a little worse for wear each time.

You had a thirst for adventure, but the only worlds you’re exploring now are the recesses of your imagination while tripping inside public bathrooms. Sometimes, you imagine you’re in the Louvre or experiencing the MOMA while staring up at the vulgar graffiti on the walls and it’s almost good enough.

The last thing you wanted to be was another tired cliche of poverty, but you’re already halfway there.

YOU ARE THE OVERACHIEVER

It’s been years since high school graduation and you still find yourself trapped in the same mundane loop your mother laid out for you. You’re scared of becoming a stepford spouse but that’s all you can see ahead of you after spending your whole life maintaining your mother’s vision of perfection. Your psyche is cracking and splintering beneath the polite smiles and coiffed hair, but you just don’t have anywhere to pour out your frustration.

You came upon a website that piqued your interest recently. A camming chatroom for the sexually curious. Your mother would have a meltdown if she ever found you on it, but you’re a consenting adult now and in your opinion, it’s harmless. You take off your clothes for strangers to let off some steam and it’s something that finally excites you. You find yourself crawling back to it night after night, addicted to the thrill of release until your rotation falls upon a stranger who holds up a paper with your name on it.

You know it’s a bad idea, but the allure of danger and mystery rouses a feeling in you that’s too good to give up and the stranger seems to know exactly what you need. You find yourself inching closer to meeting them each night in hope that they’ll set you free.

YOU ARE THE HEIR

Some may call you arrogant, but you prefer to be called dignified and poised. Your father is the mayor of the town and no one ever lets you forget it. You once wore your birthright with pride and it’s granted you plenty of access, even if it made you a few less friends in school.

Being town royalty was lonely but you embraced it with aplomb. You got away with everything and were a terror as a teenager, bullying those who had less than you and turning your nose up at anyone who didn’t meet your impossible standards. After all, you’d learned from the best. Your parents were figureheads in Gravewood and you used their clout as a shield to protect you from any and all repercussions for your deviancy. You lived like a king.

Recently, you’ve gotten engaged to The Queen Bee. You’re not in love, but your family wants the property for expansion and a merger is the most natural progression of things. It’s unbecoming to run away from your problems, so you make the choice to commit to marriage despite your fiancee’s obvious distress.

Everyone’s always thought you were a monster anyway.
