As told by a narrator
the man scurried across the slim dark cheerless streets of Harlem New York urgent and in a hurry to find work. At last, he stumbled upon a beautifully decorated building with lovely flowers peeking through the windows and bordering the edges almost as if purposely placed there as a gate to keep outsiders on the outside, yet something about it was appealing to him, calling to him, drawing him in. as he looked up at the sign reading: Christopher Vaughan's botanical arrangement market. reluctantly and hesitantly alexander entered the structure where he was greeted with a benevolent grin from his good friend Christopher
"good day Lexy what brings you here"
"I was wondering if by any chance you have any positions open for hiring I sort of lost my job'
"the only open position isn't really desirable but it does have a good income"
"what is it"
"well we do need somebody to sweep the leaves and dirt off of the ground if your interested"
"splendid when can I start"
"Well earliest time you can start is in 15 minutes so you've got yourself a job if you're up to it"
"Thanks man"
"No problem. Aprons are in the back closet don't get your clothes dirty"
"Ok got it" he replied in understanding walking around the corner in search for the back closet. he passed an open door where he could see african Americans drinking herbal tea and eating cookies. they seemed to have been away from slavery for quite a while since there were no visible marks of chains or ropes and they seemed to be in a pleasant mood and not in panic at the possibility that they might be captured. After grabing the apron he ran back to Christopher
"Chris you have negreos in the room over there"
"Umm yeah do you have a problem with african Americans or something "
" Well no bu-"
"I don't see why you are making it a big deal they're free and have every right to be here by talking behind their back you could easily make someone uncomfortable they aren't bothering anyone and they are guest so there isn't a problem"
"Oh umm"
"Do I make myself clear!?"
"Yes sir" he quickly replied 15 minutes had already passed and hamilton got the broom and began sweeping he had never seen this side of Christopher.
