New Arrivals

There were other people outside eating as well, but none that would bother him. He didn’t have anything to eat, but he didn’t worry about it. He just wanted to sit on this stone ledge and relax.

“Were you talking to me? Uh..” he looked over nervously.

“Well, yeah. You’re all alone. I thought I’d give you someone to talk to,” the figure replied. This guy actually seemed interested.
