Preface

Mark Connors sat in his home office editing together a music video before saving his work and reclining back to stretch in his seat. The door opened and his friend and work partner Jerry Jonston entered carrying two take away cups of coffee. "You done?" The Asian asked, he was around 180cm or 5ft 10inches tall, has black hair and dark eyes. He was wearing his glasses, something he did on the rare occasion his new contacts hadn't arrived or he felt lazy. This morning it was down to a postal strike and a delay in the delivery.

"Just finished, thanks. Say hi to Ma for me?"

"She said hi and get out of the office for a chat once in a while," Mark laughed at Ma's remarks. While putting a video together he would spend up to three days in his office.

"She says that but we both know she means show her the video first." The dark skinned man of 220cm or 7ft 2.5inches laughed as he sipped the fresh hot coffee. "What time is it?"

"Just past 6 the boys will be up soon." Jerry said looking at his watch. "I took care of the morning coffee for the older ones, its in the travel mugs and by their beds. You are going to go lay down because non of the little ones like it when you're the walking undead in the morning, I'll send someone to wake you before they leave."

"But-"

"No arguments Mark. Go." Finishing his coffee with a grumble Mark managed to get to his room and hit the sheets before he was dead to the world.
