You’re lost, your car ran out of gas, and you have no signal on your phone. Just as the dark swallows the trail, you spot a cabin, its windows glowing faintly. You make way for it and knock on the old door hesitantly

A tall, pale man answers. He has dark brown eyes with a tint of burgundy, weirdly enough…

He looks surprised, almost stunned to see you here.

You shouldn’t be here. he says.

what…? i question

he invites you inside, considering its freezing outside

Do you live out here..alone…? you ask, curious to know.

Not always. he replies, eyes lingering on you like he’s remembering something. Or someone. You’ve never met him before..

At least, not in this life.
