The pathway leading to the road was dimly lit, and the adjacent children's play area, now devoid of life, cast an eerie shadow. With no one in sight, Lambda's adventurous spirit took over, compelling him to leap over the six-foot fence, landing on the desolate roundabout.

BENEATH THE CROWN
I cried profusely while lying on the king's bed. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. "What went wrong? How did this happen?" I asked myself.

I questioned myself wondering where things went wrong and how possible I lost my virginity without being penetrated.

Chapter 2; The Tower Robert, feeling nauseous and hung-over when he came down this morning, decided to sit in the open area restaurant and have a glass of orange juice while waiting for John. Their regular server, Lisa, wasn't there, so a male server Robert had not seen before approached him when he sat by the window. The man was wearing a name tag that read "Billy," obviously a western take on his real name. Billy asked him if he would like breakfast. Robert told him that he would have orange juice as he was waiting for his friend to arrive before eating. He tried calling John's cell phone, while Billy was gone to get his drink. When he returned, Robert was leaving a message for John; "Hey John, I'm downstairs at the restaurant" "I guess you're a little sick, I'm just going to have juice. I’ll wait for you before eating."
