“Let’s go Pip.” Cap’n Buck bellowed.

“Where?” Noah asked.

“To Narnia!” Cap’n Buck guffawed.

Noah scanned this man’s peculiar face and thought about what was in his mind.

They were already finished with the succulent breakfast and had packed all the acquired items needed for the day. Noah sighed a kind of nervous sigh, like he’s scared of what will happen on the journey.

The drive. A peaceful one. Watching the scenery of fresh, green leaves and white daisy flowers go past. Wild trees swaying in the moderate wind, waiting for the sun to blaze past the bitterness of the grey world. A sun that hasn’t shone for a millennium now stays along the horizon, cold and mostly lifeless…

“Mr. Buck?” Noah muttered.

The background has turned abruptly to a more harsh and unfair setting. The beautiful trees have turned into tall wilting sticks and the scentful flowers have dried up and died to evil and scornful ones.

“Just call me Bucky, Pip.” Cap’n Buck said.

“W-What is this place?” Noah shuddered.

He knew he had lived in a bad environment but not as horrible as this.

For a second, Cap’n Buck didn’t say anything.

“It’s…my oldie home town.”

Noah glanced to Cap’n Buck’s face and saw a faint tear trickle down his left cheek.

Guess Noah’s not the only one that has experienced hardships.

The next episode of The Stranger will be a good one and probably one of the longest ones XD. So I hope you all will look forward to it!
