But all that changes on the day the office elevator breaks down, leaving her trapped when the screams begin.

[HIGHEST RANK ACHIEVED: #21 in HISTORICAL FICTION] Pagibig na nasimulan sa panaginip, nakuntento ako noon na sa panaginip lamang kita nakikita at nakakausap ngunit hindi ko akalain na ang panaginip na iyon ay maari pala akong magising. Magising sa katotohanan na di ka pala isang kathang isip lamang. Isa ka pa lang nilalang na mapagpapabago sa aking pananaw sa pagibig. Ngunit, hanggang saan tayo dadalin ng ating pagmamahalan kung pati ang tadhana at trahedya ay humahadlang sa atin? --- (c) kollaola

Get too close and you catch what they have. Insane kind of people should be put in an asylum. Balance is needed. Death to each and every traitor. Society crumbles, all becomes traitors, killers arise. This is the world now, a cruel place to live.

What would have happened if Christine had believed the Phantom to be Monstret Under Sängen, the Swedish version of the Boogeyman, instead of her beloved, Angel of Music? Author's Note: If you are looking for something with tension, drama, and dark angst, please look somewhere else. I am not going to even call this a book because, it isn't. It's a bunch of connected one-shots of cuteness. LET THE FLUFF BEGIN!

Erik is an assassin, moonlighting as a reclusive composer. Christine is a lonely girl, hired at the recently started business called The Friend Shop. This is their story.
