    The Caretaker

    In a small town, there's a grandiose abandoned mall, the only mall it has. It stands firm as the streets pass by, yet only sense of emptiness it emits. With it's dark and dusty interior like a passage to a horror story, it waits patiently for another day to come by.

    Anyone rational will avoid that void building, yet not for a man, or a being one would say. With lost name, he only stands still in the only store inside that still supports brightness, staring at the so called abyss. An odd view indeed, nobody knows how the structure can still supplies light on that specific room or the fact that there's someone other than ghost inside.

    His presence attracts curiosities, resulting in wandering individuals visit him. But what surprised them the most is that he's far from most people expectation. They imagine him a vicious monster, yet he just stay still, imposing and gentle at the same time, bringing strange comfort to his visitors.

    He occasionally avoids personal questions, but he's open to one thing. Every matter he can help settle, like an understanding caretaker for a burnt out traveler. Nothing impossible for him, and because of that it's not hard to attach oneself to his presence.

    There he is, standing again with arms crossed in front his chest, inside the sole bright room

    The Caretaker: "Hello."
