Charles’ aide was fast asleep on the couch, television blaring. He slipped out the back door and walked not knowing where he was going. He watched the strangers pass and smile as if they knew him. Charles had been lonely, scared, and uncertain about where he belonged, so he walked and walked. It became dusk and he wasn’t sure of his surroundings and stared confused.
A woman with dark hair walking a small dog approached Charles. It was his neighbor of twenty years, Lily.
“Charles, what are you doing walking alone at this hour?”
Charles stared blankly at the lady.
