Movie Theater, 8pm, Hat

The abandoned movie theater was full of random junk. Seats were broken. Projectors from the floor above were shattered in pieces on the floor. It was an odd little theater with a single screen and a large room leading to the screen and a box office. Both rooms were visually separated by a single cube-shape which lead to a second level where the projector would be. Nate was always intrigued by this place as a kid, it gave off an old fashioned aura in a time of modernity. Simplicity in design.

Nate, distracted in and lost in his thoughts, was suddenly brought to his senses by a reflection of moonlight coming from the roofless building against the metallic movie chairs. His objective was to find Vapen’s hat before the Wheaters got to it. The Wheaters were not a group to be messed with or even questioned. Nate had no idea how a hat would matter, but Vapen had told him that it wasn’t an ordinary hat. It was capable of physically altering consciousness without the side-effects of psychedelic drugs. The hat was meant to discover a new scientific truth, or so Vapen claimed so Nate thought it would be worth it. The Wheaters had no intention but to destroy the device.

Vapen was frequently forgetful, so any retrieval was normal for Nate as a personal assistant. It was odd, though, that even Vapen would forget such an important technological contraption. Suddenly, something hit Nate in the head and rendered him unconscious. Nothing could be seen in the darkness of the night.
