My name is Mark Fishbach. You might know me from YouTube. Not to brag, but I'm rather popular on YouTube. I just finished recording a video. Wish I could tell you what video, but don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. Right now, I'm just relaxing on my couch watching TV. So far, today's been pretty average, like any other day. Half way through the show I'm watching (The Walking Dead in case you wondering), there's a knock on the door. I pause the show (Netflix is the best) and get up. I walk over to the door and open it. A strange man was outside my door. He was about the same height as me, had a similar haircut as mine, wore glasses similar to mine, all in all, he looked almost like me, aside from his darker skin, different colored eyes, and his outfit (a black button up shirt with blue jeans and a pair of black sneakers). "Hello, how can I help you?" I ask him. He stares at me for a moment before answering in a gruff voice, "Was wondering if you could provide a place to stay. I'll only be here no more than four days. Wife kicked me out for a while." I thought for a moment. I smiled and said, "Of course, come on in. I'll go clean up the guest room and make up the bed. Just make yourself at home while you wait." The man smiled and walked in. He sat on the couch and un-paused the show. I went to the guest room upstairs and cleaned the room and vacuumed the floor and made up the bed. Soon it was time to go to sleep. I was a bit worried of having a stranger in my home who looked a bit shady, but I trusted that he wouldn't kill me while I was sleeping. He went up to the guest room without a word and shut the door behind him. I grabbed a box of Cheezits from the kitchen cabinet and went to bed. I sat up for a while eating Cheezits and watching TV with a baseball bat nearby just in case. I ate half the box of Cheezits and finished two episodes of The Walking Dead before falling asleep, the baseball bat nearby, just in case.
