Adam was fast in the east. The journey to the east with the able men of west Petra though was long and tiring but they had no rest on the way.
It was the time of the day when they arrived thus at the East of Petra and the first street they entered was that of a market square.
Even so, this did not mean the market was lively because it was not. Gone were those days when a person entered the market of the East of Petra and could be almost tumbled over by the crowd walking in haste to and fro.
These days, all of that was now a past event and what the market looked like now was of a graveyard. It was not like people died in the market, but each vendor at the market would rather keep their heads at home than risk it at the market square.
