Roxbury Pond
Here lies a small town with big secrets. A place where kids grew up skipping rocks into the famous Roxbury Pond. A united community, where wealthy families lived, where the police are called when a cat is stuck in a tree. Everyone knew each other. A virtual Utopia of their own, so they thought, until the first incident that would rock this community to its core. It was here at this famous pond in Roxbury Michigan, where six young children were last seen playing.

It was eighteen months after the Coronavirus impacted the world. At the Johnson’s home, Renee and her husband Cameron are preparing dinner for their kids. As they are preparing dinner Renee turns on the television to watch the news, the oldest daughter Mia says this depressing stuff again? How long are we going to have to stay in the house? Then Renee says they have a new vaccine coming out to cure it and it will allow us to go back to normal. So hopefully this will all be over soon. Yeah hopefully, Cameron stated, I miss the amusement parks and traveling, Mia you are old enough to ride roller coasters now and I know that you have been looking forward to that! Mia answered, yes and I want prom to be perfect. They focus on the television where they are talking about the vaccine, the first dosages will be out in two weeks. Everyone begins to celebrate! Renee looks puzzled, that’s not long enough to have a vaccine approved, she thought. While the children are celebrating she pulls Cameron into the other room. Babe, she starts, I’m really concerned about the side effects of the vaccine, it sounds rushed. People have different blood types and ailments that have to be compatible with the vaccine, that’s really fast honey. I don’t know you’re the one who is about to be the doctor, he stated, do you feel comfortable with us getting the shots. What could be the side effects, could they be worse than the virus? Because it is killing people. The kids get quiet when the President is speaking about the vaccine. He announces the date for the release of the vaccine, how many there are and who will get it first. Two of the vaccines have been approved by the FDA and one is still awaiting approval. The President then states that it is perfectly safe, just like the flu shot, and everyone should feel safe to take it. No need to panic everyone will get one. Renee then breaks the silence, alright everyone, I have to go to work, everyone sits down for dinner, I love you guys. She then kisses everyone goodbye and leaves.
