He fidgets nervously almost as if he has somewhere else to be, except I know he doesn't. He's on the run.
"Why me?" I ask, my voice low and non-threteaning. I don't want to set him off, I remain docile, although he doesn't seem dangerous. Looks always prove to be deceiving.
"You're here."

"What are you running from?" He asks and directs his attention to the stars. His voice is soft, almost as if he's asking himself.
