The Old Man

by Paul E. Pepe

Overview

The old man lived in a two room cabin at the end of a dirt road miles from town. He had no electricity, no telephone, no heat except what he was able to coax from his fireplace and old pot-bellied stove. He had no running water. He had just turned eighty two, tall and spare with a growing belly that was beginning to stretch the front of his plaid work shirt. He wore old, faded Levis and work boots that had seen better days. His beard was white and his white hair was long and uncombed.
