For some reason, he ran. Ran through the drizzled rain to the park. I followed him there. That's where we met. Ceasars Park. He sat on the swing staring at the birds, watching how they fought over the bread crumbs he dropped. As I sat next to him, I heard his breath quicken.
"Leave me alone."
His voice was very distinct and disturbing, in the good kind of way. He seemed persistent. As he stopped throwing bread at the birds until I left, I decided to speak.
"I'm Telayna. My full name is Telayna Rose Martin. And you are?"
I held my hand out, signaling him to shake it. He didn't move a finger, his breathing slowed and he stared at the ground.
"Isachar Simone Levi."
"Nice to meet you Isachar..."
"As to you Telayna."
