Day 6

Like, for example, where the hell did this guy come from? There was a reason he and his wife had moved out here; there wasn't a soul for miles. The nearest town was several days travel away and no major trade routes came this way by sea or land.

Thinking back to when he first saw the man, Caleb remembered he seemed to come out of the jungle behind where he was sitting watching the ocean. He wanted to go investigate, but he couldn't just leave the stranger in his home with his wife, could he?

The man seemed to be completely unconscious and would probably not wake up for hours and his wife would surely continue to sleep through the day. If he locked the bedroom door, she would be safe; yes that is what he would do.

He carefully crept over to his bedroom door and quietly locked it, checked his guest was fast asleep and headed out into the jungle.
