    Their friendships endured for twenty years and more. Wherever life took them, they carried each other in their hearts, in their memories, and in the shadows of their dreams.
        
        They did their best to live and love and grow through the epic, unprecedented years at the end of the twentieth century.
        
        If you ask Car or Lina, Alex or Crystal, or any of their friends, lovers, rivals and peers, they'll say their story began in the middle of the eighties, in those hazy days and cloudy nights in San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Dana Cove, Abbeque Valley and all those little beach cities and planned communities in south Orange County, California.
        
        With clarity and perspective earned through time and experience, each would point to their own particular moments when childhood at last began to blend into tentative, stumbling adulthood and their lives got going at last.
        
        There's a lot that came before, and plenty after... but this is how it all got started.
        
        HAZY DAYS AND CLOUDY NIGHTS is an open-ended weekly serial set in Matthew Wayne Selznick's storyworld The Sovereign Era. HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED is the first story arc. The first installment is here on Wattpad.  To read the rest for FREE, visit:
