the voice said softly and inviting. Yet its tone failed to hide the hostility Sigmund had sensed. Sigmund started to pant harder, his steps accelerating to almost a run. Yet as he ran to the direction he knew nothing of, the voice calling to him started to grow louder. He immediately decided to run opposite the direction where the voice came from. He started running faster, catching his breath with every stride of his steps. He never felt so in danger, so exposed and so vulnerable in all his life knowing he is in the same place with someone whose voice he has never heard before. Yet as he was increasingly frightened, the stranger started to feel more familiar to him, as if he had met him a long time ago, in the same situation. Scared and running for his life.
