Yawn!
“Oh well, I overslept again. I must go out and have some lunch” John said as he wakes up covered with his scientific papers, on time travel. He picks up his alarm clock to look at the time. It was three in the afternoon. He stood up, went to the washroom and brushed his teeth. He also washed his face and his hair. He was awake all night continuing his theory on time travel. He awoke only wearing his underwear, so he opened his closet, grabbed some pants, got a jacket from a chair, wore a hat and left the house.
He was off to the supermarket to buy something to eat when as he going down the stairs, he stopped by Old Man Ringo’s house, which was underneath his floor. He knocked on the door. Then suddenly the door opened. He was face to face with Paul, the twenty two year old son of Old Man Ringo.
“What the hell do you want? Can you see I am busy?” Paul said.
“Well as a matter of fact I didn’t. And don’t worry, I don’t really care about you. I just wanted to talk to Old Man Ringo” he proudly said, with an insulting tone.
“He is busy” Paul said with an angry tone.
“Doing what?” John had to ask.
“Being dead” Paul said sarcastically.
Then Old Man Ringo’s voice was heard.
“You know I am right here?” Old Man Ringo, angrily looked at Paul.
“But…But…” Paul stammered.
“No buts, now you go do your teenage stuff” Old Man Ringo said.
He looks at Paul who goes up to his room. He then hears loud music playing from his room. Then he turned and faced John.
“Good afternoon John. Well Good morning according to your time of the day. What’s up?” Old Man Ringo said.
“Well I am going to the supermarket. Need anything?” John asked.
“Hmm….wait let me check” then Old Man Ringo leaves for awhile, then he returns back and gives John a list. “Yeah, here are some things I need. Thanks for lending a hand” he finished.
“No problem Mr. Ringo” John said.
“Oh yeah, and one more thing” Old Man Ringo followed up.
“Yes?” John curiously asked.
“Will you be busy this afternoon?” Old Man Ringo asked.
“Doing what?” John asked again.
“You know, sciencey stuff” Old Man Ringo said.
“Nah, why? Wanna play some chess, and have a little chat?” John asked.
“You just took it from my mouth boy” Old Man Ringo said with a smile.
“Yeah sure. After I get back, I will get the chess board” John said..
“Sounds splendid” Old Man Ringo happily said.
John went to the supermarket to grab some pizza to eat for lunch. Then he went straight to the grocery to pick up some stuff. He also passed by the hardware store to pick up some tools for the old man. Everyone from the city was looking at him. They thought he was some kind of foreigner because he rarely came out of the house. Most of them was their first time to see John. He felt really awkward to see a lot of people staring at him. He just focused on the cashier lady counting his money. As soon as he got home, he saw on the table in the backyard a wooden chess set, and two mugs of coffee. Old Man Ringo was then chopping up some wood.
