It's nearly twilight at this point, and I'm still helplessly restrained in the middle of this hollow.
But then, that's just my second concern at the moment. There's another occurrence that got me shaking uncontrollably in trepidation and disconcertment - the high tide.
Since the moon is about to rise, the tides are getting higher and higher in each passing minute. By this hour, the water level already reached my chest. It's only a matter of time now before it gets around my shoulders.
What's more, that cloaked man is nowhere to be seen. He left me here all on my own after his long-winded narration earlier.
"Just what's up with him? He kept putting my life in perils even when he said that he wanted me to join their organization. Does he want my corpse to do it instead...?" I grimaced out loud, wincing at how cold the seawater was.
