Obviously, I miscalculated a few things.

Eddie! I know you're in there!

Why is it that the moment your life exceeds your wildest dreams...

The access code you have entered...

...the knife appears at your back?

The access code you have entered is invalid...

Well, I'll tell you one thing...

...I will never let them touch me.

My neighbor, who must have opened his door to complain.

- You're gonna be next, Eddie! - We're coming in!

For a guy with a four digit IQ, I must have missed something.

And I hadn't missed much.

I'd come this close to having an impact on the world.

And now, the only thing I'd have an impact on...

...was the sidewalk.

You see that guy?

That was me, not so long ago.

What kind of guy without a drug or alcohol problem looks this way?

Only a writer. Strangely enough,

nobody believed that I actually had a book contract.
