Robbie stood waiting in front of the emergency room. His small frame showed clear signs of anxiety and exhaustion.

“Are you hungry?” Old Mr. Nacht gave him a hamburger along with a cup of juice. “It will take some time before the nutritious food that I ordered arrives. You should eat this to fill up your stomach first.”
