Richard's neighbor -- Business magnate -- Income

Richard awoke again in that little crib he had found himself in on the previous day. His confusion had lessened somewhat, but he still found it a strange position wake up in. The bars that slightly hindered his vision, the pink walls beyond and that uncanny feeling that it was all gonna grow more **** from this point on. It all added to the moment which the waking man was feeling.

That man who had had his place of sleep and residence changed to what it currently was, at his neighbor's place, in a room and bed that seemed far too childish for him to live in and sleep in, soon got on up. Richard was ready to start his day and took determined steps towards towards the kitchen, where his neighbor already sat.

When Richard sat down, he noted a pervasive smile bearing on his neighbor's lips, one which told him about something. Something which he just couldn't figure out, but something nonetheless. It was as if he had already been given a clue towards figuring out just what the night's change had been, something which he would spend the rest of the day attempting to figure out, all without avail.

That incessant search for what could possibly be different continued throughout Richard's day, everything seemed in order. Something which was equally reassuring and ominous to him. His coworker still chatted away, his boss still annoyed him with the same nasally rants and the sun still shone brightly in the sky.

It was all just so... Ordinary, at least to Richard and wherever he went he found himself on edge, always rotating neck head this way and that. He was intent on spotting what was different before it engulfed him.

Yet it never arrived, Richard remained just as clueless about what had been made different about the world even as he headed back into his new home. Nothing was different in there either and as he sat down to eat with his neighbor, still trying to figure out what had changed and his neighbor still bearing that same wide smile.

"Did you have a productive day?" Came an almost teasing answer from the neighbor which Richard had found himself living with. The only answer Richard could manage was a silent nod before his staring at her began in earnest, what was her plan in it all? She just smiled at the dumbfounded man and said to him, "I, for one, had a very productive day and I believe you'll get to see what it'll surmount to soon enough."

Richard couldn't help but to stare back silently in response to this. She had changed something, she just had to have changed something, but what had changed was just out of his grasp. He didn't get much longer to think about it either, as he went to sleep soon after his last bite of food from the dinner he had eaten. He slept right there, at the table, collapsed into a tired heap.
