the train was late today,and it was always early. this was the first part of my day that left me questioning why my usual routine was being obstructed. little did i know that at that moment the word ''obstructed '' would not do any justice in describing how much this day was just ...diffrent. yeah that will work, just extrordinaraly diffrent. The day was an anomaly or the true definition of an unparrallel pattern. my name is marshall palmer. i am a that guy that walks into a room says nothing ,and nobody notices but that is my comfort zone. When people are forced to step outside that comfort zone there instincs take over...we become primal beasts trying to survive.
sleep deprivation was not a good way to start that steaming july morning. something was preventing marshall from sleepning. a restless night that included relentless tossing and turning. the product of insomnia maybe. the period of adrenaline soaked in his vains was impisoning him, there was nothing he could do about it except go for a walk. that decsion would be the one that would change his life forever. one small insignificant choice to stay from his culvisac to a blood drenched misteak. marshall was never a guy who was drawn to trouble but what any body whould call a pretty decent guy. ''this is just god damn bullshit he cusses at his sleep disorder grabs his pajama bottoms and slips them on over his boxer shorts.and walks out his one bedroom apartment.
the sun has not set yet but there is still a humid feel to the air outside. marshall desends into the darkness and mutters more profanities and goes on his way. walking a long the wet morning grass along the river bank, a movement captures marshalls eye turning to a large dark object floatng on the river bank. he is drawn to it by curiosity when he reaches it, he figures it to be a log or rock, but he reaces out to touch it and it was soft.... peeling off the first layer he realizes it is a blanket or sheet when it is completly removed he discovers the floating object is not an object at all... it is a person and they are dead.
in a complete stunned state marshall falls to his back and stares at the corpes and looks at it then he realizes the dead body is familiar though mutilated, those facilal features are all too rcognizeable he is a man but who is he? marshall studies the clothes the lifeless body is wearing a plain white shirt and pajama bottoms... then looks down at his own clothes they are bloody too the man he is looking at is ...is himself? but how ?marshall begins to run he run as fast as he can from the dead body go back home and sees that his apartment is taped with the words cation what ? he stumbles backward seeing a poster of him on his door saying, missing. iam not missing he yells to himeself iam dead!
