After I ate lunch today, I stood up to clear my food away and instinctively looked at the fields behind my house. There was a man there, dressed in a white t-shirt, sitting amongst the tall grass. He sat with arms around knees, tucked to his chin, and looked as if he was rocking back and forth. The grass in the field is tall, and has not been cut since the last time I was home months ago. Snakes live and flourish there.
He didn't seem normal. I was worried. I wanted to call the police, but I wasn't sure. What if he had gotten lost?
I decided to wait. I came back to my room. Read an email. Went to shower and cried.
After I got out of the shower and looked again, the man was gone.
