Sarah's Journey 9

"You're not shy now are you?" questioned the man.

Sarah had stopped, her destination lay before her.

Sarah sighed and responded with a hushed, "maybe".

The man lay one of his huge hands on her shoulder.

While it didn't fill her with confidence, it reassured her that she was probably going to be okay. She could feel the strength in that hand, the strength to snap her like a twig if it wanted, but no, it was here protecting her.

Sarah took a courageous step forward, surely at the very least, whatever lay within those walls couldn't be as bad as what was out of them.
