I usually have a long note from the author here. And today, I just don't feel like doing one. To bad, so sad.
The man stood there, cane in hands, staring at Ryan. He had close cropped gray hair, and a set of eyes that made Ryan shudder. It seemed as if this man could stare right through him, into his soul, his deepest and darkest secrets.
He slowly started to walk towards the roots that Ryan sat on. "Hello, Ryan. How is your girlfriend?" He spoke with malice in his voice.
Ryan was a bit taken back by the question. "Who's asking? We're you there?" Ryan tried to sound confident, but felt his hands shaking in his pockets. The man gave a small, thin smile. "No, no. Why would I be there? But even a blind man can tell that she's going to die. Yet you cling to the hole that she will somehow, miraculously survive. I pity you, I truly do."
Ryan took a step back. How could this guy know anything? If he said that he wasn't there, how could he have known any if what was happening to Ryan's girlfriend?
"Don't worry, Ryan. I am a friend. I can help you. I can help her. You would want me to help her if I could wouldn't you?" Ryan blurted the answer out without even thinking. "What do you mean you can help her? Tell me!" Ryan shouted, walking to within a few feet of the strange man. He didn't care how creepy the man was. If he could help her, Ryan would do whatever it took.
"Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. You want something from me, but what are you willing to give to make her better?" The man smiled again, thin and ugly, but Ryan didn't care. He was desperate.
"Name your price, old man. I'm willing to give everything."
