Strangers and figures

Prologue

As the man got into the car on the drive, he looked back at the house for a split second. All the memories of what happened flooded back to him: the people he hurt and used to get his revenge. But unfortunately for him, one got away. But one does not come out of something like this without a few scars.

There had been many disturbing things that happened that night but he would not let it get to him.

He quickly shook his head and slammed the door shut. He let his breathing return to normal and started the engine of the car. He looked back at the house one final time with one thought in this mind:

“I am sorry old friend, you never should have gotten involved”.

And with that drove away from the house leaving his ghosts behind.

The car was old, you could tell that much by looking at it. There were a few dents and scraps on the side of the car. It looked like animal claws had scraped the side. The seats were worned out, the fabric was now torn in places.

He had no particular destination in mind, all he thought about was to get away from that manor. The memories of that night haunted him like a ghost but he felt safe in the vehicle.  

As he drove a little while more, his mind drifted elsewhere. He thought about anyone he knew that would let him stay for a night. As far as all his “friends” were concerned he was dead so no one would come looking for him.  

So who was the one person he could trust to let him stay for night until tomorrow?

Then it hit him.

He remembered he invited someone else to the poker night but they declined the invitation and decided not to come. It was a shame really but they weren't that important really. They would have only been there for extra entertainment and to make it a more believable evening.

But mayhaps this old friend of his allows him to stay with them for a bit until he finds accommodation. He quickly changed directions and headed towards his new destination.

After driving for a long while their house finally came into view. He quickly got out of the car and strutted up the steps to the illmatic front door. He lifted his hand to the door and knocked.

“Tap, Tap”

He was patiently at the door. It was quite early in the morning, so he didn't expect them to come straight away. The apartment was small but enough for one person to live there.

As he was about to go back to the car, the front door windows lit up like a firefly. A makeshift figure behind the glass came to the door. 

He stood back in his place as he waited again. The door opened with a click, revealing a glow to the cool morning air. To reveal this mysterious friend.

“Hello old friend, I'm back”

"Welcome back Mister Mayor", the figure reluctantly agreeded to let him in house after explaining his little misfortune but not telling them the real reason him was there.
