I was afraid of whoever was behind me. whoever was behind step closer, I turned around holding my breath, I could feel my heart beating fast. I saw half of the person's body. I saw dirty shoes, there were legs that were wrapped in rags. I asked him who he was, I almost did't recognize own voice. The figure said he was Lemon Brown. He asked who was I. I told him that my name is Greg Ridley. He asked why I was there. I told him that it was raining outside. I couldn't remember his name but I knew that it was Lemon or Orange. The figure came into view and I could see that he was an old man, he had wrinkled face,he had white hair. He had layers of dirty coats on him. I saw that there was no sign of a razor. I asked him why was he here. He told me that he was staying here. He asked again why I was there. I told him that it was raining outside. He asked other different questions like if I had a home? I told him that I got home that I live in.He also asked me if I was one of those boys looking for his treasure?, I told him with a smile on my face that I am not looking for his treasure if he had one. He says that every man has a treasure, he also says I am not too smart because of not knowing that. I asked him what is his treasure, if it is gold coins. He doesn't tell me what is his treasure. I'm thinking that he is a weird guy. He tells me his name is Lemon Brown and they used to call him Sweet Lemon Brown. He says he sung the blues so sweet. I asked him what happen to him. He says that hard times had happen to him. I say sorry about what happen to him.
