It was a warm summer night when Sarah first saw him. He was standing in the shadows outside her apartment building, smoking a cigarette and looking up at her window. Her heart fluttered as their eyes met briefly before he turned away, disappearing down the street.
The small town of Millfield had always been a peaceful place, where everyone knew each other and nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. But one summer, everything changed. A mysterious stranger arrived in town and with him came a series of strange occurrences that shook the community to its core.
The sun was just beginning to set over the sprawling city skyline, casting a warm glow that illuminated the streets below. Amongst the hustle and bustle of rush hour traffic and busy pedestrians, there was one figure moving quickly through the crowds - a woman in her mid-twenties with fiery red hair and fierce determination in her eyes. Her name was Ava, and she had arrived in New York City just two days ago with nothing more than a suitcase full of clothes, a few dollars in her pocket, and an unshakable dream to make it big as an actress on Broadway.
The sun had just started to rise, painting the sky with shades of golden yellow and orange. Anna woke up feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she prepared herself for the biggest day of her life. Today was the day when she would finally get on a plane and travel halfway across the world to start her dream job in Tokyo, Japan. She had always been fascinated by Japanese culture, its traditions, people and language since childhood. Her love for anime, sushi and J-pop only added fuel to her passion for this beautiful country that she could now call home.
