Knock Loudly and Wait
by papa55mike
My boss gave me a list of groceries to buy and told me to bring them to this address. It took me a few minutes to find it. I've never been to this part of town before - it's a section of old houses that seems to be crumbling back into the earth.
A note on the door tells me to knock loudly and wait, that's what I do. After a few minutes, an older woman answers the door.
"Hello, I believe these groceries are for you."
Tears fill her eyes. "Thank you, son. You've answered an old woman's prayer."
