I know of four friends... Burgie, Luigi, Patrick, and Bob.
They come from different places, they belong to many races. Yet their lives have become intertwined in the web of life.
Before Burgie and Luigi came along, Patrick and Bob had been bestfriends and were inseparable. They did everything together. They were both orphaned at birth and have grown up to be as close as brothers. They both worked in a diner, taking the night shift, in the hopes of making enough money to open their own diner.
Burgie was a petty thief; robbing small groceries or snatching purses from tourists. His life was on a downward spiral and he wanted so hard to change. Never did he realize that it was about to.
Luigi, on the other hand, was a hardworking cabbie. spending most of his day and night in the streets, looking for his next passenger, in the neverending struggle to survive in a plunging economy.
One early morning, just before sunrise, Partick and Bob left the diner, heading home. On the other side of the road, heading toward the other direction was Burgie, drowned in thoughts of a miserable life. From out of nowhere, a crazed drunk driver swerved from one lane to the next, losing control of his vehicle. Barely inches from Burgie, the car swerved one final time, careening towards the stunned duo, throwing them meters away. Patrick suffered a concussion, but Bob had it worst. He suffered a severe trauma to the head and broke both his legs, falling into a coma. Patrick lay helpless beside his unconscious comrade, hope fading at each passing second.
Just as Luigi was heading out to start his day, he heard screeching tires followed by screams of agony nearby. As he approached the scene, he couldn't believe his eyes. There lying at the side of the road, a mangled starfish, beside a dried up sponge. Burgie was with them, reviving them, calling for help.
Within minutes, they were surrounded by doctors as they reached the main entrance to the local hospital. Luigi on the wheel, Patrick on the passenger seat, bleeding from the head, and Bob, laying flat on Burgie's lap, still unconscious, but alive.
The rest of the story need not be told. Surgery, recovery, reuniting, recollecting, FRIENDSHIP.
As the title would suggest, a bond between the four started that fateful morning... (although Bob hasn't come to yet, so he doesn't know of the friendship he would soon be having).
Still hoping and praying for a miracle to happen, Burgie, Luigi, and Partick continues to wait for that day, when Bob would open his eyes to a new and exciting life, in this... Unusual Friendship.
