Hello, everybody. I'm glad that everyone had come here to tell their experiences growing up in America. Welcome to Harvest 18. My name is Eric Bridges and I will be your counselor for the day. I was originally born in Royal Oak, Michigan but I transferred here because I applied for a counseling job in North Carolina. I live in a two-story household with my wife Laura and four kids Louisana, Oregon, Cheyenne, and Vermont.
I love having you all here. I'm glad that we can speak about our problems and how we should overcome them.
I wanted to write this story because everything that happened in the world relates to how people are struggling to strive within a flawed, but still functioning society. Instead of focusing on one particular person, I'm focusing on various people that have experienced many tragedies within their life. One of the inspirations that came into mind was Janet Jackson's album Rhythm Nation 1814. I absolutely loved this album because of how influential it is. Ranging from social issues such as substance abuse, poverty, racism, and education, the album also deals with love and hope to balance out the dark with the light.
Tragedy Awaits will have tragedy, yes, but it will also be combined with the theme of resilience to tell an uplifting story about overcoming the darkness. The series will be a prequel to the apocalyptic fantasy 2049.
