Here is mine for today.
As I sat in my room, I thought of the wonderful smell of the dumpster from 2 months ago.........
How I wish now that same dumpster smelled as good as it did then.
The family that was living in it kept it so clean and Maggie, the mother, cooked every night food that made your mouth water.
For Maggie, it ended up to be a blessing when Gorden walked by. He had stopped in his tracks when he had gotten close to it on our walk. His eyes, as he looked at me, questioned the smell and wanted answers if I had them.
I told him how Maggie and her family had lost their house when her Mother passed away. How the State took the rest of the money to pay off the Hospital bills.
How she had been homeless with her 2 children, walking the streets not knowing where to go but afraid for her young ones.
She had spotted the, just emptied, dumpster on her walk...........
Beep!
Happy Writing!
