That was it. A short paragraph, a phone number and an email address. I had seen the ad around all over the place. In the newspaper, on the Internet, on the news. Hell, there were even posters of it up around town. So my friends made a bet. The person that had put up the ad was obviously crazy, so they said that I wouldn't call the number in case I got arrested or something. I had always been the coward of the group, so they thought I wouldn't do it. So I did. At a party with a bunch of the guys, I picked up the phone and dialled the number. That's when it all began.
