Title: "Epiphany"
Author: Timothy L. Drobnick Sr.
"Epiphany"
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.
