Oct 9 assignment

I’m using the Hero’s Journey outline format…

The Call To Adventure

30 year old Nolan was pulled through a time rift and ends up trapped 5 years in the past. He travels to Downey, California, and approaches his 25 year old counterpart at the gym his younger self goes to.

He tells 25 year old version of Nolan that he will have to move in with him until the day arrives when his younger counterpart will get pulled through the time rift. Until then, they must live together and the older counterpart must pass himself off as the cousin of his younger self.

Refusal Of The Call

The younger version of Nolan refuses to accept the responsibility. At first, he thinks it is a hoax and that he is on a hidden camera show. His older counterpart shows him his identification card, that has an expiration date from much farther in the future than his current ID.

Acceptance Of The Call/Supernatural Aid

30 year old Nolan has a small electronic device that has his online diary programmed into it. When his younger self looks at some of the entries, he realizes that this isn’t a hoax, and agrees to help his older counterpart.

Natalie “Natty” Gaines sees the two of them exiting the gym just as she’s about to go in. She introduces herself and asks younger Nolan who this other person is. After introducing himself as Deuce, she goes into the gym. “Deuce” explains that he will help the younger Nolan marry Natty, and it was during their honeymoon that he got pulled through the time rift.
