(Author's note: I take no responsibility for the words or actions of Ben. He has overreacted to his situation and quite frankly I think he is a little unstable.) * "Piss off you bastard, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in this mess. Hey you! Yah you the reader.

James had recently moved into a rundown apartment building on the other side of town for a new job offer he had received earlier that week. It sounded like a pretty sweet gig, all in all, most of the work involved just going through spreadsheets and double-checking their accuracy.

Chapter 4: A Change of Residence Amid odd phantasmagorias of color and clashing cacophonies of sound, Jeff awoke. His heart was beating rapidly and he realized he was soaked in sweat. He couldn't recall the last time he had awoken from an actual dream. For years now, he had gone to bed drunk or high, and usually some combination of the two. He realized, ly...
The four men made their way downstairs. Ruaraidh in front, Faolán closely behind him, with Cahal and Calan bringing up the rear.
