Something New

Mega changes: I should not have posted a first draft of anything. :P I have made major revisions to this work, and as I do not wish to confuse anyone who has read what is here so far, I am posting the revision separately. If you liked this, hopefully you will like the revision even better. If you didn't like this, give the revision a try, as it is FAR better. OK, in case anyone has read anything else that I've posted, this is the official starting chapter. This is to be written as a novel, so the character introductions may seem a little slow. Also, it uses British English rather than American, so that should explain most of the red squiggly lines in the text. Any other feedback would be appreciated.ETA: I have changed this chapter and have divided things a bit differently. If you have read it before, you don't have to read it again but you may want to, just to keep the ideas consistent. :)
