So three days ago I found myself with the last few coins of my savings jingling around in my pocket. Today? I have a place to call home, food, internet and money to spare. Luck seems to be on my side.
I managed to double what I saved just doing simple stuff for people, mowing lawns, trimming hedges... Couple of ladies insisted on paying me more than what I originally asked. I didn't want to accept but they were dead set on it.
I think someone may have recognized me. I don't remember anyone with a electric blue corvette and I didn't get a good look at the driver.
Anyway this guy comes along, find him watching me like a hawk. A little weird but, he offers me a job, asks that I watch his place for him, in exchange I can live there, eat his food, watch his TV, whatever I want... and he'll pay me for it. So of course, I say 'why the hell not?' If this guy has enemies and they come knocking? It'll give me something to do. It's almost too good to be true.
I'll probably end up paying for it later knowing my luck but oh well. I'll enjoy it while it lasts at least.
job,
stuff,
money,
new place
