Arnold took a slow drag on his cigarette.

“The facts presented to me don’t align with your claims,” Josie said, feeling a sense of

unease with the man beside her.

Right from the start of their acquaintance, she sensed that Arnold was a mysterious and

sinister figure. She had been naïve to believe he was a lonely man with a conscience.

Arnold remained silent.

After a while, Josie glanced up and was taken aback to see him trembling as he held the

cigarette. At the same time, the bloodstains on the back of his hand made him look more

Josie continued walking.

“If this incident hadn’t happened, I’d be at the Olsen family’s right now, raising glasses

with those phony hippos and hypocritical people instead of standing here in the cold.”
