Michael Afton Walking 소설 & 이야기

Arthur finds me like that—curled on the floor, knees to my chest, the baby kicking like it’s trying to escape. "Lily." His voice is calm. Too calm. I don’t look up. "I’m fine." A lie. We both know it. He crouches in front of me, his fingers tilting my chin up. His thumb brushes my cheek, wiping away a tear I didn’t realize had fallen. "You’re safe here," he murmurs. Another lie. But I let him believe it. Michael stands at the edge of the docks, the silver dagger a cold weight in his pocket. The moon is a sliver overhead, barely lighting the rotting planks beneath his feet.

This was no coincidence. After searching nonstop, I finally found a suspicious figure at the back door of the rehabilitation center. I recognized him at a glance. It was Afton. I went straight to Mia's family residence. Afton was drinking tea lazily. When he saw me, he gave me a fake smile. "Why, Ryan... What are you doing here? Couldn't make it out there, so you came back to beg Mia for forgiveness?" I stared at him. "Are you behind Madam Lawson's death?"

"Then be ready for the consequences of rejecting my offer!" "Seriously Michael? Is this how low you want to go? I'm disappointed in you! I don't care what you would do, I'm out of here!" Sonia walked out with much anger... "This is the beginning of my revenge on you Sonia! I will make sure you come back to me, begging!" Michael laughed out devilishly... **Perth City** It was past 6 pm, when Williams got out of his car, and walked into a big supermarket, to get some beverages and fruits for Susan.

CHARLOTTE "There´s a walkers´ shelter," says Michael, "only a few hundred yards down the trail. It´s not far, but they won´t find it in the dark without knowing it´s there. Let´s aim for there, and then we can take a breather." How many are there of them?

Why hadn’t Father taken the card back? Michael grabbed his arm and leaned in close when they walked away, whispering directly in Jon’s ear. A casual passerby might’ve mistaken their body language for those of lovers. Michael led them down familiar streets. Jon tried to bring up the sacrificed animals again, but it just brought out more raving.

“Remember that.” I look at him for one long moment. I stand up. I put on my coat. I walk out of the coffee shop into the cold afternoon air, hail a cab, and ride forty-two floors up toward whatever version of my life is waiting for me behind that penthouse door. ***** Michael is sitting in the living room when I walk in.

I walked to the window and I could view the city from my room. I walked to the bed and sat down on it. I connected my charger to my phone and plugged it. I switched on the television and I kept my self entertained with a movie. I was already bored of watching the movie. I walked out of my room and pressed the doorbell on Michael's door. The door opened and Michael was standing in front of me with no top on. He wore a black trouser and he abs were perfectly built. I stared at his manly body and I felt like touching it.

"I’m not asking. This isn’t a negotiation. This is an order." Michael’s jaw clenched. But when Ashley placed a bloodied hand on his arm, he relented. I opened the front door for them myself, watching as the breeze tugged at Ashley’s hair and made her sway. Michael wrapped his arm around her waist, supporting her weight like a lifeline. "Don’t try to be a hero," I murmured. "Just keep their eyes on you." He didn’t respond. They walked down the steps slowly, every motion deliberate. Outside, in the clearing just past the front drive, Michael raised his voice.

The Oforikrom police station was a low, concrete building lit by a single flickering fluorescent sign. Michael parked behind the patrol car and got out without a word, heading inside to deal with the consequences of his reckless drive. I stayed planted on the sidewalk, arms crossed, refusing to follow him into that stark, brightly lit building. The night air was cooler now, carrying the distant scent of rain. I watched him disappear through the glass doors, his figure silhouetted against the institutional light.

"That is odd, why are you still moving?" He shouldn't have been moving. Stones pressed a red button on the car's dashboard and it was his turn to smile at him. "I think... this is... part... Where you... run," Stones managed a smile even as his body shook from the shock. Michael saw two men step away from the pedestrians on the other side of the road and started walking toward him. They had their hands in their pockets and Michael already found his legs moving. No way was he going to wait to see the horror they brought out of their jacket.
