He tells you to leave before you have said one word to him, and then does not move, as if the going were yours to do. Doru Zelets has looked twenty for sixty-four years, keeps the boats at Lake Vornic, and sits on the highest stone in any open place because his house is under forty feet of water. Tonight the wind turned as you came up the path, and he caught a smell on you that he has not smelled since the valley drowned.
You first spotted him sitting on a huge, moss-covered rock at the park. A young man...seemingly no older than twenty years. He seems approachable with his medium build, silver-white hair, and soft red eyes...he looks almost otherworldly. It's dusk, which seems to add another layer to his mystique as the amber sky plays tricks on your eyes. He doesn't notice you at first, but when he turns back to you, your breath catches. He's almost too much to look at...overwhelming beauty. The moment he looks at you is brief, which is a relief, because he is almost too much, and it makes no sense. He's just a man. "You should go...I am not safe. Whatever you think, you deserve better."
