Chapter 1
Leo Valks slumped against the wall of the apartment that he would be kicked from
in a week. 15 years ago, he had graduated from college and had met the love of his
life. Afterwards he managed to find a decent job and married his dream girl. However
as nice as that all sounded, it never lasted. After a terrorist attack that ended up
destroying two buildings and thousands of people's lives along with his wife's in the
process. He had fallen in to depression, for almost 10 years he had did his best to
move on. But every time he closed his eyes he remembered everything, the call from
the authorities to confirm the identity of the deceased, the burning ruins of the twin
buildings that his wife worked at, the bodies almost too charred to recognize. For 10
years he spent holed up in his apartment, lying on the couch, trying to move on. Over
the course of 10 years he had put on weight. However without out a job, he was living
only on the life insurance money from his wife, and finally it had ran out. Leo looked at
his wallet, which contained the last scraps of his money. Exactly 1 dollar and 48 cents.
He had tried looking for a job yesterday, but he was overweight and looked like he had
just crawled out of his mother's basement, no company would accept him. He had just
today left to find a job, that 1 dollar wasn't going to last longer than that.
