Visions of atrocities. Blood. Bodies. Guns. All forms of tainted memories drip and flow in the dark... Puddles of avarice. All of it bled away as he approached a table. a list of names. Four contracts, Four names. He never thought he would get this far. Now he just needed to set everything into motion... It was time.

She was drenched in sweat... [i]What the fuck just happened?[/i] Mind racing, heart hammering hard in her chest... That dream... it felt too real... A tall man in a weird mask was at a table, he gave them a contract... her hand write her name on the dotted line before she could even think about it... She had heard that dreams were your brain processing the events of the day, but what the hell was that supposed to underline? She shook her head, trying to shake some kind of feeling of dread... [b]What was it supposed to mean...?[/b]
