Arcadia, CA
By Law of Names Games
An average Friday just like any other.
A normal day, in an uneventful month, in a typical year.
A day that one would expect to pass just as normally, and uneventfully, and typically as all the other Fridays before it, especially in a small town in the Pacific Coast Ranges.
Except this is a Friday in Arcadia, California.
And in this small town nothing is what it seems to be.
