Prompt 7: "I didn't know where else to go" / Bruises
There was thumping at the door.
Scott, on downtime and thus not expecting any visitors to the farmhouse, stared at the timber as it vibrated again.
Thump-thump-thump.
The second thumping had Scott scrambling from his seat to get the door open. Where a person promptly collapsed in his arms.
Without hesitation Scott dragged his visitor into the living room, depositing him gently on the couch.
Scott looked over the bruised features of the last man he thought he'd ever see here of all places.
An eye cracked open.
'I didn't know where else to go.'
'You'll be safe here, Mechanic.'
