Clark Richards needs to get out more. Lanky, pale, dark haired, and taciturn, he goes throughout life doing the same thing day after day. Wake up, go to class, study, and make it early to his minimum wage job at Office Max. His philosophy on life is that people are too judgmental and rude to deserve his company. Instead, he spends the majority of his time with his dog, Kent, playing video games and watching old movies from the 60's. If he didn't have a stutter, or wasn't socially awkward, or maybe if he was just a bit better looking he would be able to muster up the courage for friends. In his mind, the world according to Clark was much better of a place. There, he didn't have to hide in his schoolwork or stay at home pretending he just didn't feel like going out. He could do anything, go anywhere and be anyone other than himself. Clark just needs one person, someone real, to break him out of his shell.

Insightful. I liked the manner in which you chose to describe Clark, and how you ended in such a way that I can definetely see being able to create a story around him. I'd be interested to see more of him. :)
