Official synopsis Publisher
Annie thought for a second. “I know a place,” she said with a shrug. “I’ll take you there.”
Isolated and unsure of their purpose in life, three adolescents begin to realize that the entire world is just as mundane as the suburbia they’re running away from. And while being surrounded by nothing but boredom and superficiality seems bad enough, they soon learn that a dormant life is not that much worse than all of humanity in general. Two Stories About Nothing Significant is just that–two separate accounts of mediocrity and superficiality in a not-so-average light. Through the seemingly insignificant conflicts and let-downs, the characters begin to dissect their own insecurity in order to understand just where they’re all going and what they have to do to get there.
