.

Bill, 21. A music student with a work hard, party harder attitude. He’s in a band and can’t wait to get a place with room to jam in. Looking forward to lazy Sunday’s on a deckchair in their sunny backyard with a beer.

Mike, 20. English Lit student who will attempt to outdrink you quicker than he’ll run to throw up 2 hours later. He wants to find somewhere near a local pub where he can watch footy on weekends.

The source material - if taken from a factual source. If not, then perhaps the inspiration.

A few extra lines that describe what the complete story is.

After a night out best mates Bill and Mike decide that they should live together after moving out of halls. As the two wait for their kebab to be delivered they begin planning their life together. Perhaps they share a different idea of ‘somewhere over the rainbow’.
