Caught
Malachi was abruptly taken by the arm. When he was pulled from behind the dumpster where he was hiding, he yelped in shock and nearly fell to the ground. He was confronted by a towering, elderly man who had an almost familiar appearance and was bearing down on him. “And what exactly are you doing, young man? ”
Filled With Fear
Malachi froze in terror since he had no idea who this man was. There were many good guys in the hamlet, but since Malachi was by himself, it was also possible that he could be a dangerous man. He twitched his fingers and cast a downward glance because he was hesitant to respond. So he chose to do something else instead.
