Robert Pattinson was not initially chosen for the role of Edward Cullen, but after an audition at director Catherine Hardwicke’s home with Stewart, he was selected. (x)
Twilight (2008)
It’s been 70 years since that fateful day.
The old man walks up the path of the stately home. It’s been painted and remodeled over the years. But the structure remains the same. He can tell.
He often forgets things–when to take his pills, what time does that show he likes come on the holodeck, and sometimes the look on his wife’s face from when he asked her to marry her. But he doesn’t forget this. He doesn’t forget the moments which lead to his life changing.
He isn’t supposed to be here. His grandkids were supposed to visit. They didn’t. So he hopped in his old car, used up his monthly ration of gas and he drove. He drove hours and hours until he was here.
He walks further up the path and looks at the old house. It’s boarded up now. No one will buy it like this. Still that’s not enough.
He takes out the canister of gas he placed in the backseat and pours it all along the edges of the house. And with the flick of a match the house goes up in flames.
He walks back to his car and sits as the heat from the house wafts his way.
He’s warm for the first time in years.
He’s happy for the first time in years.
He’s free for the first time in decades.
