For a split-second, Victor thinks that the figure he sees is that monstrous wretch, here to taunt him - and a surge of fear, anger and disgust well up inside him. The shovel in his hand is suddenly being brandished as a weapon, he’s about to yell out in a frenzy, when-
He looks closer, and sees that the person standing there is just an ordinary man.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Victor stills, although his heart is still racing. But then he realises what the fact that someone has seen him here - shovel in hand, dead at night in the middle of the graveyard - means. And his blood runs cold.
From here, it’s too dark to see the person’s features. All he can do is blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.
“Who goes there!?”
