A/N This is just the beginning one, so it's short, but I'm working on getting more on here. If you could review, that would be awesome.

Gatlin. You never get out, until you die. My mom died, awful young. I don't remember a ton about her, but she talks to me sometimes. My dad says she's dead, but I don't think so, she's out there, somewhere, just waiting. I've been stuck in Gatlin my whole life, then everything changed. My name is Ethan Wate, and this is my story.

Everything was the same, every year. Amma came from who knows where and she's been here all along. My dad just hides away, never comes out. I haven't seen him in so long, I forget what he looks like. And then there's the town shut-in, Old Man Ravenwood. Never comes out, people say he can do anything, but everyone who asks him never comes back the same, My dad went to Ravenwood. Asked him to bring back my mom. He never told me what Ravenwood told him. That's when my dad started hiding in his study.

Gatiln. Stuck in this horrid little town. I was even here when the new Mayor took over. She renamed the town. No more Gatlin. Now we're called Storybrooke.
