 I eventually lost all of my senses and gave it up to be a poor, starving writer, smh.

But “messy” takes on a whole new meaning when he finds himself tied to a chair in a torture shack, his cover blown wide open, all thanks to notorious killer-for-hire Ethan Blade. Blade is everything Jack doesn’t believe in: remorseless, detached, lawless. Yet, Jack’s only ...
