He was a billionaire, I was a bellboy, can I make it anymore obvious? It all started one fateful afternoon in summer of 2012. I was working as a bellboy at the Trump Hotel in Hong Kong on an internship program. This was my first time in a big city. It was all I could have ever dreamed of, and more. But little did I know, it was all about to change. Follow me on twitter.com/aguywithnolife Please note, this story may contain mature humor that isn't suitable for all ages.

Dan is different. He's learned to accept that. Well, as best he can anyway, considering he's never really had much of a choice. It's been this way for as long as he can remember, the constant runaround process of trying to feel normal. His life is built around it, trying to trick both himself and everyone he interacts with into seeing him as your average person. The isolation as he desperately tries to keep others from finding out, the bitterness that wells up inside of him each and every time he's reminded that he'll never be like everyone else, the fear that nothing will ever change. He's fated to be this way forever; a misfit from society. Isolation can only go so far though, so when he's struggling to make ends meet and he's faced with the option of looking into a serious job or taking on a roommate, he opts for what seems like the easier option at the time. It doesn't seem so easy ten failed roommates into the process, or when he sits down at a table to meet with prospect number eleven and ends up with a coffee spilled all over his lap. Potential roommate number eleven, Phil, turns out to be an insufferable optimistic ball of sunshine that Dan wants nothing to do with. His options are running out though, as are the savings he's been using to pay his rent, so he finds himself begrudgingly agreeing to let the other man move in. Neither of them have any way of knowing just what they've gotten themselves into as they shake on the matter, but time will tell.

"What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is what can you make people believe you have done" ~Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet. Emily Schott wants nothing more than satiation; a lust for destruction, for carnality and, most importantly, vengeance on those who snatched away her ability to trust. Desperate measures and an unprecedented incident leave her a shell of her former self - her antidote? A glass of vodka, a drunk plea, and sin in a Westwood suit. Life in Baker Street continues. The unattainable man finds himself doubting his own, cold reason, challenged by a shy smile, a mess of scars, and a brilliant mind. Millie Shon, the subconscious, John Watson, the heart, and Sherlock Holmes, the head, can only watch as a new, ruthless partnership pushes the boundaries of crime itself. 'Obsession' /əbˈsɛʃ(ə)n/ Noun: A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion; a fixation with a person or object. Two bullets. Two shots fired. One promise fulfilled.
