[Fade in:]
Imagine the birth of these two special places, these twins. Twins born not of the same time but of the same dreams. Dreams that suspend time to allow their birth to bare resemblances of each other. Water was their umbilical cord. Fountains Valley sustained the life of Capitol theatre. Capitol theatre sustained the imagination of humans. Time was slower then, water traversed the landscape at the speed at which nature allowed. Water played on rocks and soil and gave and sustained life. Time was the fabric that held the ties of the metaphoric umbilical cord in harmony.
[Introduce Suspense]
Over time the threads of the umbilical water were contaminated and the two began forming into ones. The city developed and the water was needed elsewhere. Fountains remained in its natural character and Capitol performed its role. On a day that is uncertain to record, fountains overheard man talk in nature about a theatre, which brought back memory of the Capitol. The Springs reaccessed the gravity to send a message to Capitol theatre. The message was so intense it began flooding its basement. The two now sit reunited in some way, trying to find ways to reconnect the umbilical, to reestablish place and dreams, to think of a future of accord.
