26 volunteers were selected to take part in a social experiment. They would give up one year of their life, to science. Upon completing the experiment, they would be rewarded handsomely. On December 31st, 2013, they would leave their lives, and be taken to a secret place referred to only as The Compound. A large block of property and a mansion completely blocked off and barricaded away from the outside world. No phones. No television, no radio. No newspapers. No letters. And no leaving, for one year. Just 26 very different individuals, all selected for very different reasons, living together, no matter what. It seemed very simple, at the time. Everything they needed would be provided... all they had to do was give up a year, and get used to hidden cameras over their shoulders.
The days go by, and just as everyone is starting to get comfortable, that's when weird things begin to happen. Subtle changes, at first. For several days, the temperature in the house cannot be controlled, leaving parts of the house at sky-high temperatures. Then it seems like in the middle of the night, walls and hallways are changing, revealing rooms that no one seems to remember. No power or electricity for a week. Having your inner-most secrets exposed the next. Waking up one morning to find one of your housemates - maybe one of your new friends - has been removed, and replaced. And then you discover that perhaps the lot of you aren't so random at all. It seems, that each and every one of you is somehow connected... |

We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
No child wants to grow up. Who would want to give up the playing, the toys, the presents and the lack of responsibility? But for some children, growing up was so much more. These are the children who visited Narnia, who fought with Captain Hook, who walked the Hundred Acre Woods. The children who spoke to animals that no one else could see, the ones who had the magical friends, the vivid imaginations, and the ability to do whatever they wanted to, with no one to tell them no.
Can you picture Wendy as a call-center telemarketer instead of with Peter? Calvin in a 9-5 and no Hobbes in sight? Lucy as a Dental Technician and not roaming Narnia with Aslan? Christopher Robin working on cars for a living? Coraline trying to make ends meet on her mortgage? Yeah, they couldn’t ever picture it either.
But it happened anyway.
Come join us at After Ever After and see what being a grown up with these eternal children is all about.
"I grew up."
"Oh, well. You never want to do that." |
