I’m sitting here, watching the movements of my existence pass slowly away. My house has been 41 for such a long time, and I’m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can do is 42 and think about my past. I could tell you stories that only 43 would know. But walls can’t speak.

Then, one day a nice couple moved in with a young son. 46 , their son Danny liked to stay with me, and I was completely taken with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told, most of which began with, “Back in my day…” I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn’t really understand what I was saying, but it felt good to be 47 . When Danny went off to college, my heart broke. Soon afterward, his parents sold the house. New owners came and 48 .
