Authors Note: Me first Rentfic… and its not nearly as good as everyone elses. I'm sorry if everyone thinks that everything I write is depressing and morbid. I haven't written anything when I was hyper in a while… I shall have to do that some time… yeah… and sorry it's a short chapter. SO! On with the STORY! Oh yeah… ANGEL LIVES!

Chapter 1: Alone and Lonely

            Mark stared blankly at the ceiling, slowly running the events of the day through his head. Only slowly, because, really, not much had happened. It had been an annoyingly normal day. He wished something would happen, just something. No one else noticed, as they all had their lovers, Roger and Mimi, Joanne and Maureen, Collins and Angel.  Mostly, he spent his days alone in the park filming people as they walked by, making up stories about them. Occasionally, he got strange looks from passing tourists, but usually, everyone ignored him.

Everyone ignored him. Even his friends. Roger was never in the loft anymore, and the others never stopped to visit.  He had faced the fact a long time ago. He was alone and lonely.
