How would you explain “this seems off” in the last sentence? I looked at Sterling and shrugged. He shrugged back and called to the hermit from the side of the road, his voice echoing heavily over the short distance in the heat of late morning. The hermit called back, and as he did, the interpreter related what he said with a precise delay, which added to the confusion, their voices echoing in a way that gave me momentary déjà vu. “He says that he has come through this place already and does not wish to walk the same way again.” We looked quizzically at the interpreter and he said, “Check over there,” pointing to a patch of vegetation beneath the minaret. Sterling motioned to the interpreter. “All right, get the fuck out of here. Head back to the others.” “I don’t know, Sarge. Something ain’t right. This seems off,” I said. “Feels like a setup.” How would you explain “this seems off” in the last sentence? Thanks!
