           " Do you live in that town? " He looked at me with these tired eyes. He seemed worn out; done with life and all that it gives to him. " Uh. Yeah. I do. I actually moved there when I was three. " I slowed my step to say my last words. He did as well, and we continued to talk. I got to know him a little, he said he lived in one of the houses in town: and that he was one of the coal miners that worked outside of town. He did look like he work work in the mines, due to his tall and sturdy figure. " How did you end up in the woods: since you work in the mines? " He abruptly stopped in his tracks. He stood still and firm in his spot; non-moving and a disorganized look on his face. He looked traumatized. " I-Is something wrong, sir? " He slowly moved his head around; studying his surroundings. " ........ Can you keep a secret? " I stood my ground: waiting for my words to finally respond to his request. " Of course I can. "
