MAN FROM TOMORROW (EPISODE 31)

He took a long, deep breath and thought about the implications of everything that happened as of late. Nothing seemed as real to him as it used to, especially not since he’d been on the run. He wasn’t sure what was happening, but someone out there was looking for him. It was something he noticed slowly, over a period of time. He kept running into the same people, who he quickly grew suspicious of. Soon he saw that they were watching him, seeming to record everything he did, and follow him everywhere he went. For what reason they were interested in him, he didn’t have a clue, but he knew that their intentions were not good.

It happened a month ago. He’d been at his earlier home- when someone suspicious parked outside his enterprise. He’d been on the upper level of the building at the time, watching them approach from one of the open windows. They were dressed completely in black, not one inch of their skin in view, even on their face. Very much out of place in the middle of a Suburb, where his former home was located.

At first he hadn’t been worried about them. He was upstairs, and because he worked errands, the front door was rarely open. This time, it hadn’t been, so he watched them approach and thought little of it. But when they tried the door and it failed to open, they didn’t leave. He watched as the mysterious person picked his lock and came inside. There were places inside that he could hide without problem, and that’s what he did. He didn’t need to get anyone else involved in the affairs that he thought were his, so he didn’t. Nothing came of it that day. But since then he’d relocated. He believed that there might even be an attempt on his life.

He shook his head and thought of that day. The woman he saved was something different- she was, at the same time as not being involved with those who were after her, was just exactly that. There was no way for him to tell what that even meant, but he was sure that it would come in due time. What he did know, however, was that life was not what it used to be. He was born, nay created for some purpose. But what it was and what it was going to be actually were really two different things. While Life throws challenges unknown, Death seems like a paradise. But when we choose the way we live, we also choose the way we die. One way or another.

The man dropped all of his worries and focused on the situation at hand.  He tuned his body to the most primal of instincts: the will to survive. And to do that, he needed to stay as he was, incognito.
