"Who is it?," I asked. "A man" they said, "is looking for you." It seemed since no one comes to see me. But I said, "I'm coming." I opened my eyes, put on my clothes and went out to the hallway. The man had vanished. Not knowing what to do I clasped my hands around my chin and began calling him. "Hey, Mr. So-and-So Where'd you go?" Not even a bunch of chickens on the back patio digging for scratch in the flower bed answered me back. The silence frightened me, and my anguish caused me to search for him under the table, chairs and trees, in nooks and under rocks, too. Who would've believed it? The man had disappeared.
