- "Because you're a bitch desperate for attention!" - Those words echoed in my head and for a moment I thought I had imagined it.

But the figure that stood before me, made me understand that it was not my imagination.

The man was tall, my Dad could easily knock him down, he looks very thin and even emaciated.

-Who ... who ... who are you? What do you want? - I managed to say after a few seconds that felt like hours.

Deep green eyes settled right in front of mine as the man's long body squatted down to be at my level.

His eyes looked more like those of a vampire out of one of the movies that Hannah loved so much. They had no white, everything was blood red, based on how thin he looks, and that unpleasant smell; the man was addicted to heroin or some strong drug.

-Don't you recognize me, sweetie?- The man's hot breath on my nose made me want to throw up again.

-It's you? Were you the one with the texts and flowers? -

-Ding ding ding!- He scoffed.

-But I don't understand, what do you want? I don't even know you, I've never seen you! -

-You've never seen me? - At that moment the man was screaming and I felt a strong stinging on my face, he hit me!

-Please don't- I begged, bringing my hand to my cheek.
-It's just that I don't recognize you, you have changed, would you help me remember? - My skills to care for sick children were helping me this time, I spoke with calm, more than what I thought I possessed.

-Well, you are right about that. Years ago, people called me Paul, Paul Mcflowrens.

That's when I remembered and my eyes widened from the shock.

-Professor Mcflowrens!-

-Bingo!-
