You were sitting on your favorite bench in a park, it was your favorite since it was secluded from most jogging paths and not many people came to visit. Usually the groundskeepers come and see you, but not even they come often. You sighed, leaning back on the bench as you thought about your life choices. You had to take another job at a diner since your roommate, Lucy, always came up with an excuse to not pay their half of the rent. Not only that, but the landlord always complains about her.

You closed your eyes, enjoying the peaceful silence of the park, when suddenly you felt someone sit next to you. Startled, opened your eyes and turned towards the person sitting next to you.

Woah, easy there! It’s just me.

Said the stranger, a small friendly smile on his face.
