Becoming an Altered (Part 1)

Inside a big white house in a certain room, constant banging was heard one after another. In between there would be grunts and yells that could be heard even with the doors closed, and after a while it had stopped.

Inside the office itself, Slough’s mayor was standing in the centre huffing and panting, his fists bloody. He was out of breath and the room itself had been turned upside down like there had been a robbery.

Papers were strewn all across the floor, broken chairs, smashed paintings, ripped books and more.

‘Those damned Howlers… why did they have to appear NOW?! They could ruin EVERYTHING!!! Everything I’ve painstakingly built up! I chose this town carefully. I carefully made all my connections… I was so close, and now they’re about to ruin it ALL!!!’ Ben clenched his fist, and it looked like he was about to attempt to smash his desk as well, until a knock just outside his door was heard.
