Chapter 8

Darren hadn’t expected it to be quite like this. Darren’s lungs were on fire. His stomach in knots. His thorax closing. The windpipe practically useless for collecting that dispensed air. The image before him bleak. Empty. Nobody there. Or at least, none willing to accept him.

Hona mentioned nuns. What he saw was the need to cross the road onto the other side, and there lay a building built on a small hill where he nearly collapses out of sheer exhaustion. “Ah-huh-ah-huh-ah-huh-ah-huh!” - all short and each closer to Darren fainting. He wishes it wasn’t the case when he sees that he won’t be able to stay here.

A man comes down the slope dressed in garbs that a Jehovah witness would wear, designed to make him look the equivalent of normalized and wholesome to anybody who spots him. A suit that’s bigger than his lacking personality and presence. And one perhaps brought from a charity store. The tie has shades of orange and tints of purple. He’s smiling so falsely that if he had dentures, you’d see the adhesives used to hold it firm.

“You need to leave.” Darren’s come up the slope to greet him. And that smile still holds it’s first place position after telling him the bad news.

“Why?” Darren can barely stand upright, “I’m being chased.” He nearly falters again with the man still smiling broadly with vacant eyes. It’s almost condescending. “They won’t be far behind. I give them at least six minutes to catch up with me. I need your help. I heard this was a sanctuary?”

“It used to be. But...,” two men come from behind the one-story building in oversized shirts whose white is turned yellow, and tattered dungarees with one strap busted and dry flaky skin that’s evident with their strapped leather clad sandals. They also have holes, and their boniness is near enough skeletal, but not uncomfortable to glare at or caused by starvation.

They walk over to the man with the smiling disease. “When shall we knock this down?” The meatier of the two with sunken ships for eyes and a sullen expression of both grief and despair asks this. “It would take us no longer than four weeks.”

“I need it demolished quicker than that.” The man almost forgets Darren’s help petition. “You see, this is going to be knocked down.” Darren comes up a little more to join the conversation.

The two dipped in a caramel stained complexion stare at Darren as if for him to complain about such a thing happening. “I’m sure this place is important for those in great need.” Darren’s implying himself in that cause because those rebels won’t be far behind. He even checks in that direction for them.

“Albastor has other plans for this location. So, it comes down?” The other 2 men seem to be biting their tongue to rebuke such a stupid idea. They obviously feel it should stay. The man walks up and analyses the outside which could pose as a small church with a capacity of 100.
