As I was waiting for him, I picked up a book from the desk. At first I didn’t pay any special attention to the single orange dot on the page. As I read on, I noticed no more sentences were highlighted like the pages before. It seemed strange. Like someone had dropped the marker on the page. I turned back to see it again and then noticed little splashes on the corner of the page. They were a reddish brown, a little faded. How odd…
I heard some shuffling behind me. I looked up but never even saw him coming…
