Zack Smitt was a alcoholic and a resident of Providence, Rhode Island. Zack is lying on a single bed, staring at the ceiling. He drinks from a bottle of liquor, a comic book entitled "THESEUS" rests open on his chest. The room begins to shake violently, the lights flickering. More bottles tumble to the floor from the night stand, and the television topples with a crash. Zack scrambles out of bed frantically, a blinding light appears in front of him and he holds up a hand in terror, then awe washes over his features.
