Ordinary World.


Tracy's birthday was next week, 19 years old.

She's pretty excited.  She's young, and loving life.  Living among the streets of Chicago and has the greatest boyfriend.  She is a beautiful girl who has an impeccable imagination and creativity about life.  Her life is art.


She was unfathomable.  She could draw anything; when she drew, she put her soul into it.

She started to draw one day, what seemed to look like a tree.  All of the sudden she had the sudden urge to puke her stomach out.  After she did, she got another horrible sick feeling, but it was different this time.

Travis was a regular 20 year old, with a killer intellegence going for him.  He had a beautiful girlfriend and was loving life.  Speaking of which, she was calling.
It was so sweet to hear her voice, but it had a different tone to it.  Worried, yet excited.
Travis couldn't breathe.
He dropped the phone.

Tracy was back to her drawing of the tree.  She doesn't have the same inspiration because her whole world had changed in 2 ways.  She was pregnant, and her boyfriend was long gone.

She draws an amazing picture of a tree being so strong and free on one side, and wilted and broken on the other.

Questions:
What will happen to Tracy and the baby?
Will Travis come back?
How will her life change even more?
