Ordinary World
In Stephen King's "Cell" the protaganist, Clayton Riddell, is not in his ordinary world for very long. Clay is a struggling graphic artist who was in Boston for business, selling the rights for his first graphic novel and it's sequel. After the success of his books being sold, he decides to buy himself some ice cream, and all hell breaks loose. While waiting in line, Clay notices that many people had been using cell phones, and at 3:03pm those people began to go crazy. From a man ripping off his dog's ear with his teeth, to a pilot of a plane crash-landing in the middle of the street, it was impossible to disagree that the world had gone mad. Clay, along with a man named Tom and a young girl named Alice; must now make the journey to the other part of Clay's ordinary world, Kent Pond, Maine where he hoped to find his wife and son safe from the harm of the animalistic crazy people.
