You found him laying there face up towards the sky. He-forlorn looking and distant- didn't move a muscle as you slowly inched closer to him.
You weren't sure what to make of him just lying there. What was he doing? Didn't he see that the world was insane right now?
You had been delivering the last of your packages-after a long battle with damned MULES you might add- when it just started to storm all over the place.
A crack of thunder in the not too far distance alerted you to just how close and fast the storm was moving in your general location.
You surmised that any longer and the timefall would be upon you both.
But, what the hell were you going to do about him? You couldn't just leave him here-well, you could- it was just against your better judgement of just leaving a poor man out here, alone, in timefall where BTs could snatch him up. He didn't have a BB like you did and far as you could tell nothing to defend against BTs.
"Whatever you're thinking, darlin', I would just forget about it," the man spoke up for the first time. You noticed the twang in his voice and the utter defeat. "Best just leave me here."
A start of an idea I had when I woke this morning lol. It's not finished cause my brain sorta just short-circuited on me at the last second. This is like after chapter 9. I gave up trying to un-italicize everything... *sigh*
