Say "Yes please"(IE/WF)
From Create Your Own Story
"Yes please."
You say to him he winks and smiles and his face disappears from the hole, you head to the front of the house and wait for him. As he turns the corner you see he is taller than you expected at about six foot three, he is also quite stocky at first you think it's fat but as he gets closer it seems to be muscle, you also notice he is carrying two suitcases.
"I'm sorry." You say to him as he reaches you. "I didn't realize you were going somewhere."
"Nonsense, my so called son put me in a retirement home so he could move his family into my house, I didn't like it so I left, I was just on my way to town to find an hotel room but that can wait, you don't know how good it feels to be out of that place so I'm in no rush to get to another soulless room."
"I am sorry about that." You say to him as you open the gate and lead him through the house to the back yard, where he flips over your mower with ease while he takes a look at it.
"This is set pretty low."
"Yes my husband used to do it once a week, after he passed away I employed a gardener but he went out of business and I haven't been able to get a replacement."
"I'm sorry to hear about your husband it's always tragic when the young die." He flicks a handle on the mower. "That should do the trick; I'll give it a test." He fires up the mower and then proceeds to cut a strip through the grass one end to the garden and back again.
"Thank you."
"You don't mind if I finish it off, it's nice to feel useful again."
