“Aren’t you interested?,” he asked me. I felt compassion for the guy. We met in darkness.
Finally, he responded. “Understood,” he said. We never knew each other’s names.
I asked for grace to cover him.
“You’re torturing me here. You seem really sweet.”
I prayed for a second. Then I walked away. The words came to me.
“My heart is with you, man. It’s a lonely world, and you deserve the companionship you seek.”
I complimented him. He went silent.
There was a hint of disappointment in his words. “I admire the goods but don’t get involved”, I said.
That was too cold, I thought. Others may have judged his situation harshly. I bade him good luck on his quest.
The memory is already shattered. I’ve made friends with the dragon.
