Adolescents Only

Gary Elvin has spent five years teaching while lodging with the affluent Schermerhorn twins, a pair of popular, carefree teenagers whose endless parties and lavish lifestyle leave him yearning for a quieter existence. The monotony of his days is broken one clear night when a bright, red streak tears across the sky and crashes into the field behind the ranch. Drawn by an eerie, melodic hum, Elvin discovers a small, glowing rocket half‑buried in the earth, its fins slowly turning and radiating an otherworldly blue light.

Inside the craft he finds a sealed chamber and a curious cylinder filled with multicolored spheres that look like hard candy. As he lifts the metal seal, a flood of strange sensations and fragmented thoughts rush through his mind, hinting at technology far beyond anything he’s ever imagined. Faced with this impossible find, Elvin must decide whether to embrace the mystery or retreat to the safety of his ordinary life.
