a problem or a present
I have discovered that I have a neighbor, in fact I have several, 3 on this floor and 4 more on each of the two floors under me.
But one in particular stands out, Kirsten. Lives just across the hall infact, came knocking on the door about 2 hours ago, anxious, then suprised as I opened the door, she asked for Mr.Pedersen, which I guess is or was the man I killed the other night.
I explained that Mr.Pedersen was out traveling and I was watching his appartment for him, introducing myself as his niece.
Kirsten looked at me bemused and commented that she didn't know Mr.Pedersen had a sister, I didn't know either, maybe I should find out, if someone decides to check up on that story, at some point I will have to explain my presense in this appeartment, where an elderly, bachelor has lived for years and years only to dissappear.
Luckily, the woman was to distraught to ponder it further, she explained that her mother had had a nasty fall and was in the hospital and she needed someone to watch her little boy David, she had hoped that Mr.Pedersen could take care of him, he often did, when she took a night out or was working late. she didn't want to take advantage of me, but she was in a real fix and pleaded with me to watch the boy.
Declining would have her ringing doorbells down the hall and properly raise questions about mr.Pedersens "niece" that I wasn't ready to answer yet.
so I took in the little, very bemused looking young boy along with a number for his mothers cell phone, should something happen. Then she kissed the little one and gave me a quick thankyou and rushed out the door.
The boy didn't say much, just asked if he could watch tv, this prevented him from bothering me, so I told him yes.
now he's lying asleep on the couch, he fell asleep while I wrote this. his mom hasn't returned yet or called.
I'm getting hungry
