"We need to talk, Andrew Lapis," said the Wanderer, his voice carrying a weight that Andrew couldn't ignore. The sensation of dread washed over him, making his chest tighten painfully. Four men surrounded him, each one pointing a pistol at his vulnerable body, prepared to unleash a hail of bullets at any moment.

"What… What are you people?" Andrew questioned, his breaths a cacophony of pain, his eyes wider than ever as it felt like he could never break eye contact with the enigmatic Wanderer. "What is it that you want from me?"

"Your brain," replied the Wanderer calmly, his tone carrying a chilling certainty, while the other three men remained ominously silent. "We're interested in using your brain. So, we simply need you to cooperate with us. Understood?"

"Not really," Andrew added skeptically, reverting back to his usual apathetic self, his hands supporting his weight as he remained seated on the ground. "I mean, if someone you barely knew comes to you and says, 'I want your brain,'

    "I'm Andrew Lapis," Andrew whispered to himself, his trembling legs barely supporting him. He struggled to maintain composure as the three figures continued pointing their guns at him, while the Wanderer savored the taste of satisfaction. "I thought I'd be one of those typically typical dudes, but it appears that's about to change."In the recesses of his mind, he continued his silent contemplation, careful not to make any sudden moves. "I used to harbor a simple dream. Finish college with ordinary grades, leaving a negligible impact on others. Then, secure a typically ordinary job—neither excessively lucrative nor inadequately paying. Find a young woman, not strikingly beautiful nor unattractive, just an ordinary one. Have a son and a daughter, leading a life that is extraordinarily ordinary. That was my dream.""But now..." Andrew sighed, finally lowering his hands to his sides. The room seemed to darken and grow colder with each passing moment. "It seems that I'll need to exert a b

  • 7- Typical Plot Twist

    "Andrew! Andrew! Wake up, Andrew!" Lisely's voice, filled with youthful exuberance, pierced the morning air as she swung open the door to her big brother's room. Despite her efforts, Andrew remained lost in the realm of dreams, detached from the waking world.Undeterred, Lisely was determined to accomplish her usual mission. With swift determination, she pulled the curtain aside, allowing the sun's refreshing rays of light to flood the room. The golden glow fell upon Andrew's face, yet even this natural spotlight failed to rouse him. Disappointment clouded Lisely's expression as she maneuvered her way to perch atop her still-sleeping brother."Andrew, wake up!" she urged, her voice gaining a note of urgency, before playfully springing onto the bed, her small hands shaking his body with each bounce. "Wake up! It's time for breakfast!" she exclaimed once more, her persistence finally stirring Andrew from his slumber. He blinked his eyes open, gradually realizing that the morning had ind

  • 6- Typical Unexpectation

    "My name is Andrew Lapis, everyone," Andrew muttered, raising the collars of his dark grey coat to shield his neck from the chilly evening wind as he strolled away from the coffee shop. He fumbled for his smartphone in his pocket, eyes focused on the time: 1:18, etched in the device's center. "As you can clearly see, the fun is over. And a great voyage is awaiting me to get back to my hometown." A lengthy yawn escaped him, his eyes struggling to stay open as he forced his legs to keep moving. "Well, I hope I don’t fall asleep before finishing this long road."To his surprise, he noticed a suspicious figure standing alone in the dimly lit neighborhood. As he drew closer, a spark of recognition lit up Andrew's mind. "Isn’t that… The wanderer?" he thought, puzzled to find the man here. "I came a little later than usual, so I didn’t expect to encounter him on my way back."Despite his thoughts racing, Andrew didn't hesitate to remove the coat; he needed to return it to its owner, after al

    "Finally," Andrew muttered wearily as he stepped into the coffee shop, his demeanor still carrying the weight of exhaustion and apathy. His words were laced with a hint of sarcasm, "The 12 minutes and 27 seconds of continuous walking are at last over!""Yes, just like I said, guys," Andrew mumbled to himself once more, acknowledging the warm greetings from everyone in the coffee shop with a casual wave of his hand. He continued his slow march toward his desired destination. "I am Andrew Lapis. Sadly, I'm a poor guy who needs to run quite a marathon just to satisfy his human desires.""What are those human desires, you ask?" Andrew continued, his voice taking on a tone of mock seriousness. "Well, it's that urge to play those tacitical games: card games, chess, and reversi… nothing grand, to be honest...""Oh, Eye Bags!" Alex exclaimed loudly as he noticed Andrew taking a seat at the table, his arrival completing the group of five. "You arrived earlier than usual this time. Why?""Ah...

  • 4- Typical Dinner

    Andrew sighed, sinking into the familiar embrace of his beloved bed, relishing the softness of the sheets and the gentle caress of the pillow against his tired head. "What's up, boys..." he whispered to himself, his voice carrying the weariness of the day, "It's your boy, Andrew Lapis. And, I finally defeated today's foe, so I can enjoy the calm after the storm..."His moment of tranquility was shattered by Lesli's piercing scream from the floor below, a sound that seemed to pierce through his very soul. "Andrew!" she bellowed, her voice echoing through the house. "Andrew, you need to come down. Dinner is ready!" The urgency in her tone forced Andrew to reluctantly peel himself away from his sanctuary."Or maybe..." Andrew muttered, irritation evident in his half-opened eyes, "just maybe, the storm didn't really pass..." He covered his face with his hands, feeling the weight of exhaustion and frustration settling upon him. "God... Please, I just want to rest...""Andrew, get down here
