The following, written in-time and in various chapters, is inspired by a "childhood" movie I loved as a kid (and 'recent' events surrounding myself and how I am trying to come to terms with certain things, specific people, and the way in which everything is evolving).

"LARYNGITIS"
CHAPTER ONE
Once upon a time, in the thick of a Redwood Forest...
...there existed a ALIEN full of life, curiosity, and experimentation.
The ALIEN (and his kind) came from outer space and from another world...far, far away.
For the purpose and plan of intelligence gathering, the spaceship carrying the ALIEN landed within the outskirts of this Redwood Forest; an area known by Earthlings and appropriately called, "Community," because of it's vast significance and importance to people living within the valley and township located below.
Per alien standard operating procedure (SOP), once the spaceship had landed the ALIEN would scuttle off with a dozen or so other aliens for the purpose of gathering what evidence they could of life within our galaxy. Fortunately, the spoils of the area were bountiful as this particular area of the forest (and galaxy, for that matter) were unique.
Always a bit too curious for his own good, the ALIEN separated from the group of others and set out on his own accord to discover this new venture of Earth and the beauty of it's landscape.
Suddenly, the ALIEN found himself a bit too far away from the coordinates of the landing site. Without warning, the spaceship he had grown so accustomed to during his travels launched itself completely away from the soil of the ground of "Community" and up into the night-time sky.
Helplessly, the ALIEN could only watch with disbelief as the spaceship's rocket boosters engaged and sent the spaceship zipping upwards in an effort to demoralize the Earth's gravitational pull.
The ALIEN, unfamiliar with his surroundings, found himself completely alone now and frightful of what to expect next...
