Plot
The story begins with a man sitting in a dark room while he looks out a window. The light from outside reveals that the man is holding a large bottle of pain meds. He unscrews the cap and pours nearly a dozen tablets into his hand and begins to mutter to himself. The man is contemplating overdosing on the pills. A flashback occurs, spanning nearly eight years. The same man, younger, is walking the streets of Portland, Oregon.
