It was an ordinary day when Timothy decided to go for a walk outside. The young man was an ordinary, too. He just had an unusual appearance.

When someone asked Timothy what happened, he would simply divert the conversation to another topic because he didn’t want to remember the pain of that moment and the present situation. In such matters, Timothy felt the pain of his face and the departure of his wife with their baby daughter.
