Ashton was walking in his drunken state. He had been trying to relax after his 9 hour day of work in the artichoke field.

Nothing like a cold one to get rid of the fears in the Fayz, he thought.

Well it can't be cold; there isn't power to freeze stuff.

Ashton stumbled over a bush. Stupid bush, get out of my way.

Getting off the ground  Ashton noticed where he was; Mary's Big Jump. The place where Mary not only ended her life but ended those of little children.

We saved most of them, he thought.

Not we, he corrected himself, Dekka and Brianna saved them.

A couple of girls can save lives but you can't, wimp.

Anger seized Ashton and he punched a tree. Bad decision; Ashton rubbed his hurt knuckles.

Dumbo, I bet Dekka and Brianna could hit that tree without hurting themselves.

Ashton growled at himself.

He walked closer to the Fayz border, but tripped yet again.

Picking himself up he noticed something.

Along the FAYZ border was black.

Like blank ink spilled on a peace of paper. Ashton's drunken mind was confused, but one thing was clear.

The FAYZ was going black.
