The countdown hanging over Tommy and Benjamin had officially begun.
Days after Tommy had started going from school to Copa to serve his head honcho Benjamin, Benjamin showed up at Tommy's place one night, right after Tommy had finished taking a good shit.
He had opened the door, only to see Benjamin standing there with two luggages. "I'll be your roommate from now on!" Benjamin declared.
**DAY 1.**
Tommy woke to the subtle shift of early morning light seeping through the worn curtains. The world outside was still cloaked in darkness, but the chill in the room signaled the start of a new day.. somehow.
He stretched languidly and swung his legs over the edge of the bed.
With a groggy yawn, he shuffled toward the bathroom, his bare feet shuffling quietly on the creaky wooden floor.
But just as he reached for the door handle, a rough hand snatched at him, pulling him back into the warmth of the bed.
