The Ticket: Sketch Outline

Concept:

A group of friends are walking around a park during the day. They are talking and cracking jokes like they usually do. As they continue walking they stumble upon a lottery ticket. They pick it up and check the numbers on one of their smart phones. It's the winning ticket. They all debate on how they'll split their newly found fortune. After bickering for a while the group decides to divide the money equally upon themselves. They continue walking and each of them talks about what they would do with their share of the money. The person who has the ticket in his pocket is so into the conversation, that he doesn't notice one of the other friends trying to take the ticket out of his pocket.

From funding new inventions to movies to new business, crowdsourcing covers it all. This up and coming form of fundraising is rapidly growing. The days of going around town asking for donations are long gone and in it’s place is the crowdfunding. Crowdfunding allows for individuals with an idea to reach out to the millions of possible funders over the internet.

One reason that support this claim is that when other see the idea some entrepreneurs will invest start up money. Another reason is that customers can give feedback on the product to make it strive. One might say that crowdsourcing is risky as people may imitate your product.

     I was sitting on the train on my way home when I saw Bill. Bill always flaunted his fit physique like he was better than everybody else, but to me it wasn't that impressive. I mean anybody can get in shape if they really wanted to, a few push-ups and crunches here and there; eating a salad every now and then it's not that hard. I don't even know why he cares about his stupid fitness so much since he's only in high school. In the middle of my rant about Bill and his ridiculous love of fitness, the train violently came to sudden stop.

Two guns for biceps and abs of steel; I was yet again in someone else's shoes. I dug my hands through the large pockets of the gray sweatpants I had on and grabbed the iPhone. Right before I turned it on, I saw Bill's reflection on the black 3.5 inch screen. This reflection of Bill conveyed the deepest sense of somberness I've ever seen. The train that Bill had been waiting for pulls into the station, and he takes a vacant window seat. Stop by stop, Bill sat in loneliness as people wholeheartedly avoided sitting next to him and his melancholy soul. This didn't bother him; for he was accustomed to being alone. However as a group of jocks entered the train with bad intentions, Bill began to feel uneasy. The malicious clique zeroed in on their target; an obese boy who ironically enough was eating a Twinkie. They started rolling insults at the defenseless kid and Bill became infuriated...

The train began to move again, and as I sat down I realized that I was smaller now. I wasn't wearing worn out running shoes, large sweatpants, or any fitted shirts; I was back inside of my own body and I couldn't be happier. I know my life isn't perfect, but after seeing some of the unforgettably life-scarring events of my peers; I'm more than okay with being April Gray.
