Please Leave a Comment! I hope you all enjoy this!!! "The Old Man is nothing." Said Mrs Mc.Kenna. I did'nt know much about this man, so I asked Mrs. Mc.Kenna because she knew everyone in the flat. "What do you mean he's nothing?" I asked her. "I mean he dosent think he is anything, no-one cares about him, and certainly the world does not have time for him." I thought this statement was cruel. I did'nt want to argue with her. No one dared to argue with her. I walked back to my flat and sat on my bed, thinking. I had nothing else to do. Finally Mark came home. He was my brother and a close friend. He sort of lived with me. He came often and we usually stayed together. "Hey, Ruth, how are you?" "Good thanks." I replied. We sat down and had dinner. We talked for a while. Finally I asked about the man. I was very curious. I did'nt even know if he existed, since no one had seen him outside his house. "I dunno. He seems like an ordanairy elderly man. Why do you ask?" "Just wondering." I muttered. That night I could'nt sleep. The rain pelted off the window like bullets and the trees silloutetes shook on my curtains. It sounded awful outside. I finally fell asleep at 3 and woke again at 5. I felt sick, and could'nt get back to sleep. I finally got out of bed. My eyes hurt, and I did'nt feel well. Mark came that day and said the man was ill. To Be Continued..... Please tell me what you think!

Here's some more! I thought it might be nice to give him a get well soon gift, so I bought him chocolates and I made some chicken soup. Mark said the poor man had the flu and a cough from his pipe. I knocked on his door and waited. Finally a man shuffled to the door. "Erm, hello, I live next door. I heard you were ill an I brought some things for you." The man gave me a long smile. "Come in." He said, still beaming. His flat was old, and his carpets were frayed. He had old, 40 year old egg boxes and an old looking BEKO washing machine. He sat in his old armchair, where most of the stuffing had come out. to be contiued......please tell me what you think!
