A series of the strange things that happen to Jonathon Frowland and his husband Alan Shroben.

You might not believe me when i say this but Jonathon Frowland was nothing but an ordinary man, he didn’t care what others think or said, all that mattered is that he got on with his life. Jon was a simple man but didn’t like to have his name shortened. He has a husband called Alan Shroben, they got married in Scottland about 3 years ago, simple isn’t, you’d think he’s just an average man trying to provide for his husband but when that day came everything changed.

It was the 9th of november and Jonathon was preparing for his day at the factory while Alan was already out for work. sometimes it can be lonely in the mornings with know one about, sometimes working at the factory doesn’t seem like its worth it anymore, not as much fun as before and as each day goes by Jonathon find it more dificult to get by.

Outside his bungalow was a bus, the same bus that comes everyday to take jonathon to work, the same people, the same driver, everything, for year nothing has changed, even though jonathon is married he’s never felt more alone, Alan doesn’t fullfil his needs. Jonathon steps out his bungalow and purposly walks slowly trying to avoid the bus, hoping for something new to happen, something different, something adventurous. Jonathon approachs the bus in a sort of dissopointing mannertrying to show his expressions to the world.

Alan, eargly waiting for his interview for a possible new job is late, what a surprise, but don’t worry he has all the inspiration form Jonathon, Alan feels the complete opposite of Jonathon but he doesn’t know it. so Alan walking into the interview room with confidence thinking “im doing this for Jon”. Neither of them know how one another feels, so there feelings are trapped.

Jonathon was staring lifelessly out the window playing a game called ’spot the difference’ looking for something slightly different but still nothing. He turns around and see’s an old man staring him in the eyes, jonathon stares back… a few minutes pass and the old man says ” excuse me, are you by any chance Jonathon Frowland?”, Jon replies ” yes thats me”… the old man scratches his head and some skin flakes drift over towards Jon, he’s trying to avoid them without the old man noticing, breaking the silence Jon asks “whats your name then?”, the old man whispers “i have no name”. The bus hauls to a stop and Jonthon speaks politely “this is my stop” and he gets off.

Jonathon paces hisself trying to outrun the old man following him, Jon manages to wind up down a small alley  with no exit, he was cornered with the old man getting closer and closer…

(Chapter#1) Next time = The old man kidnaps Jonathon and both of them are declared missing, Alan doesn’t get his job and is visited by policemen about his missing dad.
