The situation in the city is getting more and more uncertain, even though it looks calm but anyone knows that there are many disturbing events. Many strange deaths make anyone sad and realize that ... their lives are not as safe as before.
The news that was broadcast also made some of them feel afraid to visit certain places because they felt that something was lurking in their lives right now.
An old man who had ridiculed a young woman before was again seen across the street. Not knowing what he was doing, it seemed there was something the old man was looking for.
He wasn't a respectable older man from noble houses, but a man who wandered the streets every day, sleeping anywhere he wanted, it's just that… all who knew him would find the older man very strange. He sometimes rants about the devil's coming into the world, as well as the chaos that no one knows, when will happen.
The old man named Robert had left home a long time ago, not because he didn't feel comfortable living with his family, but… he wanted to find the way to truth. Sound crazy?
Maybe!
"Shit, aren't there any leftovers in this restaurant anymore? Since then I haven't found a single leftover that still looks good to eat!" cursed Robert. Robert moved to another restaurant trash can, scavenging, picking, then swearing, and so on until he accidentally bumped into someone's body.
"S-sorry," Robert stammered, his pale face looking even paler when he saw someone he hit. He just hit Jordan's body.
Jordan smiled bitterly, then replied, "No problem, Old Man. I'm not one to be arrogant just because you bumped into me."
Jordan was confused when he saw Robert stretch out both hands, then put the hands that were wrapped in worn gloves, the man said something that made Jordan even more confused, "Young man, don't let you make a mistake. Your body has been marked."
Jordan furrowed his brows, he didn't understand what Robert meant. Marked by what? So who gave the sign? Truly an ambiguous word for Jordan.
"I don't understand what you mean, old man," Jordan said. Robert exhaled roughly, he saw something in Jordan. According to him … Jordan's body will be used as a stopover for something. Where it will bring major changes to Jordan's life forever. Of course, the big question for Jordan is his body as a stopover.
"I often see you, young man. You are successful, rich, and famous. But would you believe if I told you, that everything would soon fade and leave you? Everything has its time because someone will make you very depressed and reluctant to face life. ' said Robert, enigmatically.
Even the sanest sane human would not be able to decipher the meaning of Robert's words. According to some people who saw Robert often, the man was crazy!
"Old man, no one can read a person's lifeline, because you are not God! Only I can know what my destiny will be because I have been trying to get to the point now. You… don't say nonsense. Get out of my sight, get your dirty hands off me!" Jordan could no longer contain his emotions, normally he wouldn't respond to vague sentences from anyone, but this time he was ignited by emotion when he heard Robert's words.
Who is Robert?
How dare he curse himself?
If only that man was so young, he would have beaten the man so badly that he couldn't get up from the ground!
Robert chuckled, he took his hands away from Jordan. The aura that Robert felt from Jordan was very strong, very strong, it was just that he chose to remain silent because he didn't want Jordan to curse him again.
"Sir, just give me $3, you famous singer, must have a lot of money," said Robert trying to pity Jordan. At least, if he got the $3 it could be used to buy food because those damn bins seemed to be playing a prank on him. Once he found food, there was only a quarter left, and even that was not good enough to eat.
Since last night he had to endure hunger during the cold weather that was getting crazier. Robert is sure that the irregular weather does not come from nature itself, but there is the intervention of the devil who intends to make humans more difficult.
Jordan glared at the old man, then grabbed the collar of Robert's shabby coat and replied, "You swore at me, and now want to ask me for money?"
"S-Sir, have mercy on me. Since last night my body has been shivering with hunger. It's not me who will repay your kindness," said Robert once again.
Jordan released his grip on Robert's coat roughly, half pushing his aging body that was no longer young, cursing, then reaching into his pocket. Take out a $100 bill and throw it in Robert's face.
There was no irritation from Robert, he was used to being treated as he pleased by anyone whom Robert asked for mercy.
Jordan pointed at Robert as he backed away, and said, "I swear, this is the last time I see you! Your face pisses me off, Old Man!"
Teeth that were blackened and no longer intact were visible when Robert smiled. The money Jordan received was at least enough to keep him going until someone was willing to give a few more dollars as a way of pitying Robert's old self.
Whispering in a discordant tone, Robert walked away from where he had originally been looking for food in restaurant trash cans.
"Jordan ... you should believe what I say. Someone likes your pride, where you will feel what I tell you," said Robert as he stumbled.
…
Again, a crime story broadcast an incident that took place in a cafe. Jordan himself had just arrived at the apartment and was listening to the television set on. Meanwhile, no one was in the room.
Trying to think positive, he thought maybe Kateline had just left her apartment and forgot to turn off the television.
An incident was broadcast, in which Jordan himself knew clearly about the bloodless tragedy.
Jordan couldn't believe when he arrived at the hospital, the man who was said to have had a heart attack had died before they got there. Jordan himself was surprised when re-examined, that they did not find what the cause of the man's death. All internal organs are fine.
What made it strange was that when Jordan had been in the hospital for nearly two hours, curious about what had happened to the man, he witnessed for himself, that the man's skin was getting paler and paler, as no blood in his body had ever flowed before.
And now, the news about the man was broadcast on television.
Jordan's cell phone rang, he saw Kateline's name on the screen, he picked it up immediately, and said to Kateline, "Honey, where are you?"
Kateline replied, "I was at my parents' house. Oh yeah, I haven't had time to go to your apartment to help clean it up. Are you okay?"
Jordan was shocked to hear Kateline say…she hasn't been to her apartment yet?
Then why the television in the apartment can turn on by itself?
