Opaque

Chapter 4

Okay... I trust you.

I'll trust you for now... I won't let my guard down... Manda thought to herself

Surprisingly he was really happy...
What's with this guy? My mind was filled with confusion.

Oh and also sorry for your loss... Can't imagine...

Manda suddenly looked down and turned quiet.

I know.

He reached his hand and patted my back...

It's not helping but I'll accept it I guess...Manda thought to herself.

Thanks.

Of course! Do you want something to eat or drink? Because they say that in order to work you need things inside your brain y'know?

His brain works like an 8 year old but he looks too mature...

That would be nice...
I smiled back to reassure him.

Don't worry Manda you are welcome here!

The fact that I only met him is really insane... Very welcoming too.. Manda thought to herself.

Matthew then pointed to a door.

You can stay there there is a spare bed.

Thank you Matthew.

After thanking him I went straight to the room he offered.
It's surprisingly very neat here.
I spotted a table.
Walking toward it then sat down to breathe and assess the situation.
I slid my finger through the dusty desk.

This place is very dusty... I coughed.

I looked at the window then tried to open it.

Finally winds came in breezing..
I rested my arms to the linings of the window, I breathed heavily...

Just a little bit Brooke... Almost there...

I looked down to the sight of cars and...
Police roaming around.

I immediately knelt down to avoid being seen...
I tried to take a peek..

It's like a post-apocalypse event..

...

Then Matthew knocked the door.

Manda! Food is ready! Do you want me to bring it there?

Ah no I'll be there!
I answered...

Then I slowly went up to close the window and went to eat dinner...

You can sit wherever you like.
He then readied very hearty food.
Then he sat.

I hope you like chicken soup!
Great thinking.... Of this food especially...Manda thought.
