As you're turning away, they speak. Their voice comes out slow and raspy, as if it hasn't been used in a while. "You're new here, aren't you?"
"Yeah," you say, turning towards the person again. "How…How long have you been here?"
"Too long." They slowly stand, and you gulp again, but this time in fear. They're at least half a foot taller than you. "Too long," they say again.
What do you think of them?
