	1. Default Chapter

                                                                        Half A Face

            Tired from a long night of playing in clubs Jono stumbled to his apartment. New York wasn't his favorite place to be. He preferred London. He unlocked to door and went on in. A girl was stretched across his bed, stripped to her bra and panties, surrounded by rose petals. This would be the one thing he did like about New York. "You're a groupie aren't you," he asked. She nodded. "My name is Gayle," she told him. "Cool. Lets do it," he said.

            Somewhere during the process of making love, Jono's chest began to hurt and burn. Every second the pain grew more intense. Finally he couldn't handle it any more. He backed away from her. "What's wrong," she mumbled. He felt like he was going to explode. And he did.

            Jono opened his eyes suddenly regaining consciousness. Wherever he was, it was really dark and small. He seemed to be in some kind of box, just big enough to hold him.

He pushed against the ceiling. Clumps of dirt fell on to him. He suddenly realized that he had been buried and panicked.

            Digging himself out of the ground was the single most traumatic thing he had ever experienced. It was raining on the surface. Then he saw the gravestone that had his name on it and the one beside it that had Gayle's name. 


	2. chapter 2

Jono sat on the edge of the building staring at the ground. It was a long way down. He wanted to jump but the thing that bothered him most was that he knew the fall wouldn't kill him. Nothing could kill him, not even the explosion that had ended Gayle's life. He didn't have to eat, drink or even breathe. Those were basic human needs. So what did that make him? Definitely not human. He sighed and turned to go.  
  
In the floor below a pink skinned girl sat munching away at an apple she had taken from the bag of them that was on the floor next to her. She didn't notice Jono at first but when she did, she panicked and ran for cover. He picked up the bag and started walking to her. She tried to huddle as far as possible into the corner. He dropped the bag in front of her. Once he was a safe distance back she snatched the bag away.  
  
Jono sat down and watched her eat. Some where during that time he managed to doze off. She woke him by nudging him softly and repeatedly. He opened his eyes and looked at her. She practically shoved an apple into his hands. He stared at it. *What am I supposed to do with this? Does she expect me to eat it? * he thought. She stared at him expectantly. Just then an African American girl came through the door. The girl panicked again and took off. This time she stayed away.  
  
Ororo approached him. "Hey, it is Jono, right," she asked him. He nodded. "A little too shy," she commented. Shy, that was something he had never been before it happened. "You can not think like that. Stop dwelling on what has already happened and move on. Otherwise it would kill you," she told him. *I'm already dead* he said. "Yeah I heard about that," she said. She looked at the ground. "Digging out of your grave must have been pretty traumatizing," she said. He didn't respond. "I know someone that can help you forget all of that or help you get passed it," she told him. "What do you say, Jono," she asked. A few minutes passed before he said,*Fine*.
