The Ghost in the Shadows
It's now late. The pulsating heartbeat of the city can be heard through the fissures in the pavement, pulsating against the walls of buildings that have witnessed more deaths than lives. Through the shroud of cigarette smoke that envelops me like a comfortable cloak, I am able to hear the buzz of neon lights flashing all around me.

The Strangest First Day at Work Ever
I was fresh to Maryland and needed a solid job with benefits. I had an interview with the guy I would be working for, and it appeared to go well. Mostly he spoke about himself and how he got into the land sales industry.

He actually built a name for himself: Landman.
