Prose Synopsis of the Central Character:

         Payton Bevel is a stay at home mom who is overjoyed to have her family close by her side. Her small nose she feels is her best feature and although she dislikes her dingy blonde hair she still manages to try and make it look decent. Being married fourthteen years to her husband Michael as put them in a rut. Reading the newspaper and sports were not for her, but most of all she really disliked the winter season.

          Living in Colorado with the snowy mountains could sometimes be difficult. Payton really had a keen scent of smell. She loved the sweet scent of flowers and the citrus smell of fruit. Perfume was her favorite all the different kinds each one with its own aroma.
Finishing high school was an achievement since her parents never did. Although college she had once seen in her future was now a distant memory. Bugs really made her flip out, but her daughter Maple always made her laugh. She was mostly friendly but found that she would snap her fingers at someone when she was frustrated.

         Payton thought she was average looking. Sometimes longing for rosier cheeks made her wish she had gotten that quality from her mom. Many people had told her she had amazing smile, but she couldn’t see it with such thin lips she had.

         Sometimes she was stubborn. She was determined and strong willed when it came to her daughter. Maple made Payton’s life worthwhile. She would do anything to protect her from harm.
A tragedy strikes and Payton must save her daughter.
