Matthias is a struggling writer finally able to move into his first solo apartment. He's thrilled to have a place free of roommates and siblings, even though the building is decrepit and is inhabited by an odd assortment of people including an intrusive neighbor, a little girl who wanders freely, and an overweight orange cat named Cheese. As Matthias settles in things begin getting stranger. Something vile is growing in the dark and it's coming from somewhere on the second floor... where Matthias happens to live. Author's note: this is me trying to get back to my roots: a character driven novella with horror elements. The story of people struggling against an inscrutable enemy, as well as the day to day trials of being poor in America. I have no idea how often I'll update or even exactly how this will all go down because y'girl is a panster. So strap in because this is the first draft and you all get to see it being born! Feel free to comment whatever comes to mind, and helpful critiques are always welcome.

Remember : MY HEART HOLDS YOU WHEN MY ARMS CANNOT . Meet Dashiel and Meryl on their journey to healing and accepting each other and themselves through all the highs and lows and understand what true love is . ----------------- " Please follow me " one of the guards started walking and I followed suit . We came to a stop infront of a lavishly designed door . He knocked and I heard a faint ' come in ' we entered and the guard bowed to the couple that were sitting on the couch before leaving . The man stood up and walked towards me , " Thank you for coming " he said and I nodded then he led me to another room . The walls were a mixture of maroon and silver , one of the walls was covered with a window . My eyes went to a body that layed under the duvet , everything was peaceful but there was a tingly feeling in my gut . I turn to the man " what happened ?" He looked amused for a second but answered nonetheless. " Attack " he simply replied " and to prevent this from happening again , we need you especially since you are well trained and experienced " he explained . I nodded . " Can I see the damage ?" I asked hesitantly . He nodded once and I walked to the bed . I removed the duvet slowly , the person's face was covered with an eye mask . Lips were a little parted and slow breathing could be heard . I removed the duvet a little more and my eyes shut due to the sudden pain that rang through me at the view . A bullet mark on the right side of the chest and the rest had cuts and bruises all over . I now noticed the bandage wrapped around the head of the person . I took a deep breath and turned around " I'll do it " . -------------------------
