Why Are All Of You Here?
Malachi emerged from the shadows in the alley behind Anna's workplace.
Night appeared to have just fallen as the world still showed some traces of life, and there was still an energy in the air.
Mal casually looked up into the dark sky and smiled as if he was appreciating fine art.
'You've outdone yourself again, mother. It's as beautiful as always.'
He stood there motionlessly for a minute to appreciate the scenery when he suddenly heard two voices coming from the street.
"How long do we have to sit out here like this, Unc? We look like we live in a trailer park."
"Who cares about that?? You said he had to come back to get his car, right? We can wait for him until then!"
"I'm supposed to be seeing him again tomorrow, so can't we just do this then? You're going to make me seem like some clingy stalker girl."
"Aren't you? You've texted him like three times over the past six hours."
