“Who’s asking?” the being snaps.

“A very weary traveler, who simply sought shelter from the storm.” You aren’t going to reveal your true identity. “And I’m far too tired to play guessing games.”

“I don’t make friends with those who won’t identify themselves,” you counter. “I’ve never seen anyone quite like you.”

“That’s because you haven’t been looking,” the being says. “My kind are everywhere.” His voice takes on a hypnotic quality, as if reciting an incantation. “In the shimmer of heat in the desert. At the threshold. Waiting at the crossroads. We inhabit the in-between places.”
