He crashed down in front of me, his clothes torn and his hair a mess. It looked like he had just had the worst fight of his life. But with who? I had been his enemy for 4 years, I put every ounce of my energy into plotting to destroy this man and he couldn't even recognize me. We stared at each other, I put one foot back in case he attacked but I got nothing but a blank stare in return, he was at ease. Surely if I attacked fast enough I could destroy him but I couldn't bring myself to pounce. He kept staring at me as I reached out a hand. he took it and I helped him to his feet. "Walk with me," he said, in a calming voice. We wandered down the path in silence for what felt like hours, "Do you know who I am?" he asked.

"I do," I replied. I hesitate, "I see you on the news all the time." Could he see through my lie? Does he know who I am? Could he really not? A million questions bounce through my head but not a single one leaves my mouth.

"Why did you give me your hand?" he asked,

"Why did you take it?" I reply,

"I hadn't thought of that," he said with a slight laugh. Once again we walked in silence for a few moments before he said, "Well it's been nice to see you again," I stop in shock.

"You know who I am?" I ask,

"Of course, and I'm glad to finally have a moment of peace with you. Goodbye Jay," he says fondly, "Politely, I do hope I don't see you again." I stare at the trees for just a moment and turn back to him. But he's gone.
