Episode 1 : Jeremy - Sleepy
Jeremy sat next to his sister who was content to stare out the window. Mom had turned on the TV screens inset in the back of the front seat head rests. The intro for Lion king piped through the headphones, as they hung from the screen. Jeremy could hear the tinny noise coming from the speakers, as if ants used it for a boom box. This disc had been in the DVD player for at least a year. Suck a kiddy movie. It worked to settle Ana down when she was particularly rowdy, but Jeremy could not bare to watch this flick even one more time.
Not that he thought that the Lion King was a particularly poor film. In fact he could remember when he really liked it. However, he had seen it far too many times at this point. Last night Jeremy watched a movie his parents would never let him watch. He felt that he was old enough to watch a western, even if his mom would vehemently disagree. The magnificent 7 turned out to be much more violent then he had predicted. It was so violent. He lost count of how many people were shot in that flick. He wasn't about to tell his Mom and Dad that he was unable to sleep last night.
"No, the damage is done!" he thought to himself, "I'll just close my eyes and rest in the car."
While Jeremy sat in the back seat his eyes were heavy. The weight of the a sleepless night resting on his eyelids.
He heard his sister exclaim, "Jeremy, look at the birdie!", while tugging on his shirt sleeve.
"Not now Ana" he groaned. He was too tired to waste this opportunity to take a nap.
