  Jet City Heat   Previously The skies were supposed to be clear and sunny all week. Instead, clouds were coming in and glooming up the place.

  A Familiar Face   Previously James sat under a tree. His eyes were fixed on something a thousand yards away and his mind was stuck on a loop replaying the last hour. First the frantic scramble to catch the old lady so the company didn’t have an excuse to sack him. Then catching up to […]
