Arrigate

Last week we left off with: “I remember the day. It was not as
hot as usual. There were a few hints of dark clouds in the sky.
I could smell rain coming from somewhere off in the distance.

Without hardly even thinking I pushed the button on the box.”

And now continuing:

“What do you want?” the box asked.

“Would you like your lawn mowed sir?” I asked.

No response.

I waited for a few minutes. Still no response. This was unusual.

And then I heard someone coming to the door. It opened. A rather
young man, neat and trimmed with newer clothes on stepped
outside.

He looked at me. I looked back.

He looked around his yard. He looked at me again.

He walked around to the side of his house. I followed him.

“I could use some help with lawn mowing. Do you do a good job?”
He gently asked me.

“Yes, I do. I have many customers you could ask.” I pointed down
the street at a few of my customers.

“Ok, come back tommorrow and I will probably have you start.”
With that he disappeared back inside.

I stood there dumbfounded. As the blood that had rushed to my
ears started to ease away, I started to hear the birds chirping.
A wind was blowing gently and it felt good against my face. The
smell of rain was getting stronger and the tops of the trees
were starting to move like a cradle.

As I turned my shoe twisting on the concrete made a clear sound.
