Chapter 1: Beginning (Misery)
You better believe the first thing I do when I wake up these days is rub the sleep outta my eyes.

Except there's no crazy preacher on the microphone, warning you about the end of the world. Just a whole crowd straining to peek inside classrooms labeled with titles that sounded like ancient Greek to me.
