Chapter 1 - Where the hell is Jim Brason?


                    Liz stared outside. The leaves were a shade of green that the rain created, her eyes looked at it but her mind was traveling far away. It was the second day that Jim had not shown up to work. Looking at her phone every few minutes was not doing anything to calm her agitation. 'Maybe I should check his Facebook updates’, she thought. That was something that Jim would not have approved of.
'Facebook is for faggots. If Facebook existed a hundred years back, do you think Hemingway would have insulted Faulkner?' he asked.
‘But imagine what fun the posts would have created. Maybe Faulkner would have introduced Hemingway to a few of his choicest words from the dictionary' she said.
                  In spite of that, Jim did an occasional update. So that might be a good place to start before panic attacks and unofficial search parties. She scrolled through a few videos of songs, some random movie posts and suddenly an update that struck her as odd - Nietzsche's quote 'The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.'  That was two days ago and it was followed by a strange and abrupt wall update saying ' Fearsome Dive Music'.
What the hell did that mean?
