Create a plot overview for It's a good life
This story is about Anthony Fremont, a three-year-old boy with unusual powers; he has the ability to transform things with his mind. He lives in the town of Peaksville, Ohio with his mother, father, and aunt. Surrounding their little town is a grey abyss of “nothingness”. There is no electricity to speak of and the residents must grow their own food and make their own things. Anthony controls the weather with his thoughts and it changes depending on his mood. If Anthony “hears” a thought he doesn’t like he transforms the people into horrible monstrosities. The towns-people must cater to the child’s wishes for positive thinking. If they don’t maintain optimistic thoughts, Anthony will know and they run the risk of being transformed or even killed. When Anthony tries to help people, he usually ends up making things worse for them, much worse. In order to maintain this kind of thinking, the population must mumble constantly and keep their thought incoherent and random. Nobody is safe from Anthony, even his own family.
