A/N: I know this first installment is rather short, even for a prologue. Let's call it a teaser.

Prologue

The man dialed a contact on his cell and, finding the ringtone going over to voice mail, spoke in a message. "Honey, I just left the grocery. They don't have any frozen prawn. I'm on my way to Patterson's. Gonna see if they still have some."

He'd just hung up when he heard a peculiar sound coming from right behind him and he turned to find out what caused it.

In a blink of an eye, he found himself lying on the tarmac, staring at a pair of feet... Weird. He couldn't turn his head to let his gaze travel upwards from those feet. There was a click, instantly followed by a flash...which made him blink...and then...perplexed darkness.
