LONE MAN [Page 313] (Patreon)

313

Struggling with the door, you tried to help the young Lone man but failed miserably. Your hand went through the door, almost knocking you to the floor.

The clinic is small and filled with patients. Lone man shifted his weight from one foot to another. He scanned the faces of each one of them until one door opened.

“Dr. Green!" Lone man said excitedly.

The man, who looked like he was in his 30s, adjusted his round specs. “Lucian! ”

Lucian?

Lone man nodded. “Dr. Green, mother has a letter for you.”

Dr. Green glanced at the waiting patients. He combed his graying hair with his fingers before taking the letter from Lucian’s small hand. The doctor placed it in his coat.

“Thank you,” Dr. Green said. “Please say hi to your mother for me.”

“Roger that!" Lucian said.

You were about to leave the clinic when you caught a glimpse of a small boy around the same age as Lucian peeking behind the door from where the doctor came from. He looked very pale and sickly.

He looked straight at you.
