I was walking into an apartment that might as well be abandoned and haunted, slowly and carefully walking up the old and rickety stairs to the 2nd floor. I looked towards a door that had been practically destroyed from the constant break-ins and lack of care. Walking through it revealed an old man lying on a mattress in a rotting and empty room.


    "Hello there old friend, how was your day" I grabbed his attention immediately.


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    He was startled and alarmed by my announcement, but he moved slowly. He looked with misty eyes towards around the room and said.


    "What are you here for...." his voice fading at the end, it was dead in every way one can imagine, not even pain or sorrow remained. It gave the most bitter feeling into my heart


    "Well since you''re asking... can I " I sat down beside him on the floor, crossing my legs.


    " Do you want a drink"
