Chapter 41 - The Big Apple
ONE YEAR LATER David sat up slow and stretched as he did. For a second he almost thought that he was back in the hotel but that wasn’t it. This happened to him most days but gradually had lessened over the past year. Sometimes he thought he was in the hotel, others in the tent, sometimes back at the mall or cabin, and once or twice even Rapid City or the RV. In reality he was in his room. His apartment they had given them after he being brought to the safe-zone.

He sighed, relieved as he looked over at Teresa who was still asleep right beside him. He smiled to himself as he got out of the bed and entered their bathroom. He moved over tho the sink and stared at himself in the mirror before deciding he needed to shave some of the stubble that had grown over the past few days.

He grabbed the shaving cream and spread it over his face before grabbing his razor and proceeded to shave. After finishing he leaned down and splashed his face with the warm water falling from the faucet. When he stood straight back up he noticed something changed in the reflection of the mirror. Behind him stood the Seven Deadly Sins, who all simply stared at him smiling.

“No, no, no, no…” He muttered under his breath as he shut his eyes. “Their not here...their not here...their not real…”

When he opened the his eyes again he sighed, relieved, before something else shook him to his core. Beside him in the mirror stood Jim, his head still wrapped up in gauze.

“Are you sure about that, David?” The phantom of his friend asked with a smirk.
