The wind howled around the bandit as the sun sunk behind him. He sat upon a rock waiting on the man who had called him at such a rush, but he couldn’t complain.

The trees shook old branches off, rocks tumbled down a nearby hill, and a poor squirrel fell out of a nearby tree causing him to lose all his acorns. Then it stopped.
