"Ah!"
Alen is painting in his small apartment when all of a sudden he hears a small scream, almost a yell. He gets up and opens his door, walking into the hall of the building to investigate the noise.
"Sir?"
Sitting in front of him is an old woman, presumably in her 80's.
"May you please help me up, young man?" She asks, rather politely.
"Of course, madam."
He walks closer to her and bends down, lending her his hands and helping her up gently. She leans against a wall, sighing in relief.
"Thank you so much, young man." She thanks him.
"Not a problem, ma'am." He smiles warmly at her and starts to walk away.
"Wait!" She calls out, loud but not too loud.
"Yes?" He walks back over to her.
"A couple dollars, for being such a kind soul." She hands him five dollars.
"Miss, you don't have to."
"I know, dear." She reassures him and pats his back, starting to walk away.
"Good night, young man."
"Night, ma'am. Thank you!" He says as he walks away to his door, opening it to his one roomed apartment and closing the door behind him, locking it as he did so.
"What a nice woman", he says to himself as he sits down and puts the money in his wallet, continuing his painting.
