STORY TELLING UNIT: "The Meeting" development

After getting some feedback from Simon about my first story for "The Meeting" I took his advice and developed it into more of a story.

When Sid gets fired from his job; losing the only thing he had left in his life, he hits rock bottom. Finding rescue at the bottom of the bottle, he stumbles around the high street of Rochester. On the verge of passing out on a bench Sid is approached by a girl in a pink hat who offers to help him home.

When Sid wakes up the next morning in his bed with no recollection of how he got home or in bed for that matter. He finds a note saying “You’re welcome” which just adds to the mystery of how he got home. Hung-over he goes to a cafe and a girl in a pink hat catches his eye. Unable to recall where he knows this girl from he sits alone in the cafe. She sees Sid and walks over to him and introduces herself.

They immediately hit it off and decide to meet up every weekend at the same cafe. They meet up every weekend for a couple of months and quickly fall in love with each other.

One day Sid is in the cafe alone waiting for Alexis who never shows. Upset Sid turns to his old ways and goes to buy a bottle of vodka. But at the last minute he decides not to go back down his old path and to face the problem head on. He travels to Alexis’ home to find out why she never showed up. When Alexis lets him into her home she reluctantly tells him that she is pregnant. Expecting Sid to be mad she is taken back when Sid celebrates his joy of finding out the news that he is going to be a dad.
