Boy of the East

Description of someone who I thought was interesting

I don't know whether I should call him a man or a boy, but he was a strange-looking 18-year-old person. He came to America from Bulgaria just a year ago which was apparent in his face and foreign accent. Despite the fact that he is very old, he exerted an aura of youthfulness that compeled me to bestow pity on him. He just seemed so vulnerable.
