Chapter 1: Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It's Not)

If someone's walking their dog down the street, there might be more to it then just walking a dog. For example, in chapter one there's a kid named kit who's just going to the store to pick up some bread for his mom. On his way to the store he runs into a German Shepard and Karen the girl of his dreams in the parking lot.
