Tony's short story proposal

Exposition
In the middle of down town San Francisco on market street there is a old apartment building. Drake Richmond has been living on this apartment complex all his life. Out of the 28 years of his life he does not remember anything that happened after he got his first job. His life was set around waking up going across the street and getting on the Muni for work. His memory lasts every morning from 7am-8am, and when he gains consciousness he is back home awake yet again for work.




Inciting incident
One day when he was going to work he saw a girl sitting across street. Drake never had such attention for one person; however she stopped time from bringing darkness to his mind. He forgets to get on the Muni for work until 9am. Looses his memory yet again, and Wakes up with bruises on his face. 




Rising action
The third day he saw this girl he approached her. She was Burnett with brown eyes and light white skin she was the only girl who can slow his time, and let him remember. There is a connection they become a couple and goes against time to gain his lost memory. Her name was Anna.




Climax 
Anna and Drake pay a visit to his so called work. Anna doesn't show up one day and follows him to "work". In the middle of south San Francisco Drake walks into a slaughter house. Anna watches Drake work for 10 hours without thought. Than he saw Anna in the middle of his work. It all came back to him. This was a temporary job that he got after college due to the economy, and the abusive boss beat him everyday making his brain shut down his entire memories of work. All the workers were this way. Anna calls in the FBI and the boss is taken to custody and all the workers are sent to rehab. 




Resolution
He opens his eyes and sees Anna. She saved his life and his memories. The youth that passed by because of this horrible job has gone and finally he had his girl in his arms. "A simple choice has give me opportunity to remember again she is the key to my memory".
