Rule #3: Stay as far from Charles Vickers as you can.
Sometimes the worst things that happen to you come from the smallest decisions. You lean on the accelerator instead of the break. Or you shift your weight on the ladder.

But for some reason, the universe’s gears get jammed at that exact second, and your tiny mistake permanently changes the remainder of your life.
Hide, hide Stay inside Windows blocked Doors all locked Hide, hide Stay inside Footsteps near Stitcher’s here

Do you want to see something good?
