I jump suddenly, startled by a drip from somewhere in front me.  As I make my way through the labyrinth of tunnels, I pull my cloak tight around my shoulders, shaking off any more thoughts about my bad decisions.  I know these tunnels by heart, but that doesn't mean nightmarish things aren't lurking in the shadows of the rusty underbelly of the kingdom.  I have to be ready for anything, especially when I'm headed to an illegal underground fight.  These tunnels are illegal to travel through to begin with.  Keeping up my guard and shaking off my distracting thoughts, I continue ahead to my next bad decision.

Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
