Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Manny was unpacking boxes in his new, ranch style home in Orlando, FL. He was dressed in only a pair of cut off shorts, it was too hot to wear anything else. Just then his doorbell rang.
"What the hell?" He mumbled, walking to the front door. "I just got here!"
He opened the door and there stood his old friend from high school, Max. "Max, what are you doing here? I just moved in today."
Max grinned and held up a bottle of tequila. "I'm here to help you celebrate your new digs."
"Ah, Max. You're a lifesaver." Manny gestured for Max to come in. "Make yourself at home."
Max stepped inside and looked around. "Nice place," he said.
His dark eyes scanned the sparsely furnished living room, taking in the high ceiling and the open floor plan. "You've got a great view, too."
Manny leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest. "Thanks, but I haven't even finished unpacking yet."
Max raised an eyebrow, "Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get this party started." He unscrewed the cap of the tequila bottle and took a swig.
