Beowulf, the defender of all men, was sitting at his desk quietly looking over his paperwork. This research had to be used tomorrow in court. Beowulf couldn’t make a mistake, after all he was only a paralegal. Earning money for his college was a hard task due to his addiction to gambling. Every single night he went out to a new casino looking for the only sound that ever helped him relax. The beautiful gaming machines, made as sound so peaceful that it helped him get his mind off of the case. Today, he hadn’t been at the casino and he was starting to get anxious, but he needed to get the job done.

It was his boss, he hadn’t programmed his alarm clock. Now Beowulf, the lazy paralegal, gets out of bed and makes himself a coffee. Not only was he addicted to gambling he was also addicted to coffee. Getting into his suit, he heads out of his dirty apartment.
“Get over here you lazy bum”, he yells at the cab. Running up to the cab and jumping in. Arriving as quickly as he could to his firm because he was late. Beowulf then remembers the last time he was late:
At the elevator he was delayed and this is exactly why he was 15 minutes late to the meeting.

Looking for Hrothgar he went to the bar, where he saw Grendel once again, this time stealing from the red headed guy at the bar. Going up to her he punched her in the jaw and noticed that his fist went right through her. This time when she opened her mouth she spoke the words that Beowulf was most afraid of hearing, “I am not real, Beowulf, I am not a person, I am you.
