William

Was it the 20th century? William was harnessing his horse, smoking a pipe. He growled, feeling the cold hit his arms. His prestigious suit spoke of his danger. Everyone knew him as a stern man, unaware that he was the head of the mafia. Behind him, his men were dealing with a commoner who had dared to insult William. But then, William heard the crunch of snow, rapid breathing, and a crash. William glanced into the distance, seeing a man nearby. The man was young, wearing glasses on a chain, his hair slightly disheveled. His red, trembling hands held a book.
