I felt strange for no apparent reason as my eyes opened and I quickly glanced around. Then again, maybe it's because I was sleeping. I reached out from my bed and, right at that moment, I heard a knock.
I stopped cold, wondering who was at my door. I looked directly at the door as the intensity of wonder in my heart began to burn. "Hello?" I shouted, still holding onto my blanket. I shrieked, startled, and unsure of what to do as someone opened the door. But as I screamed, I suddenly saw Malachi, who was clearly perplexed by my frightened behavior or my acting "surprised."
Why are you screaming like that?" he chuckled as I followed on with his laugh, letting out a sigh of relief. "I-I guess I thought you were someone else." I responded.
"What is it you want?"
"I want to show you guys something, and I think it would really help," he said.
