You are confident in your decision to turn the stranger away. Hours pass and the drizzle turns into a storm. You’ve forgotten about the tall soul you left outside. You settle in for bed.
In your sleep your dreams are sweet-- but there is something lurking. A clap of thunder brings you back to consciousness with a start.
A flash of lightening reveals a familiar figure in your door way. Your heart pounds and you rub your eyes in the thick darkness.
Flash.
He is closer-- he is smiling
Flash.
You try to move but you are frozen.
Flash.
Teeth.
Flash.
Pain.
Flash--
“You can learn a lot about a person by the way they treat a stranger in need”.
