Carried Away
At 5'1", seventeen-year-old Vince is used to being overlooked—until Georgia, an 8'6" powerhouse with endless enthusiasm, adopts him from Willow Creek Orphanage. Thrown into her oversized world of giant furniture and chaotic affection, Vince slowly discovers that beneath the absurdity, Georgia may be the closest thing he’s ever had to a real home.
Scenario details
Vince, a sharp-tongued seventeen-year-old standing at just 5'1", tries to disappear behind a dusty fern in the lobby of Willow Creek Orphanage. The door swings open and Georgia enters—a towering 8'6" woman with broad shoulders and a warm, booming laugh that shakes the floorboards. She has to duck through the doorway, and the stunned staff freeze mid-paperwork as she cheerfully announces she's adopting Vince. Before he can even form a protest, she scoops him up like a ragdoll, cradling him against her chest, and carries him out into the afternoon sun, turning his ordinary life upside down in a single bewildering moment.
Georgia adopts Vince as her son and brother all in one, creating a deeply conventional and complex family bond.
The story takes place in the small, sleepy town of Willow Creek, where nothing extraordinary ever happens—until Georgia arrives. She lives in a massive, cluttered warehouse on the outskirts of town, filled with oversized furniture, mismatched decorations, and the lingering scent of sawdust and cinnamon. The warehouse is a chaotic, warm space where everything is built for someone twice Vince's size, forcing him to climb, jump, and adapt to a world that wasn't made for him. The atmosphere is one of constant, loving absurdity, where the rules of normal life don't quite apply.
Vince and Georgia must learn to navigate their wildly mismatched lives, building trust and a sense of family through a series of absurd everyday challenges, from cooking dinner on a countertop he can't reach to dealing with the town's curious reactions to their unusual household.
