The man started walking once more, evidently displeased with what he heard. Janice was half skeptical about the stranger's odd questions, but had she not experienced strange phenomenons within the alley? If he were able to make her divulge her secret, lifelong wish, who was she to claim who wouldn't be able to fulfill them? A small, dangerous flame of hope began to burn in Janice's wicked heart and she continued to speak her case to the man.
"Please don't go, sir. I am willing to do anything, did I not say that before? Tell me your conditions and I shall fulfill them to the best of my abilities," she beseeched. The stranger turned around, a slight smirk on his face.
"And what if it cost you... everything?" he asked, carefully observing her actions.
Janice swallowed nervously and stood straighter on the wall, now free to move once more.
