Story-A-Day #177: A Gesture



A GESTURE

A new surprise awaits, fresh ideas and oddities almost every day.

On the weekend, a full drum set and an invitation to make some noise. A few days before that, it was a stack of board games with a hand written sign that read "Free Fun - help yourself".

Most days, a vinyl record is displayed in the window next to a sign that says "Now Playing".

Today it is coffee, Maxwell House On The House. It is a nice gesture, and it saddens me that no one would likely accept the offer.

People are skeptical by nature, unwilling to risk a free coffee because it may have been tampered with.

I like these gestured though. It would be easy to think of this man and his gestures as an oddity. A weird man doing weird things.

He is an eccentric for sure, but life needs eccentrics. What would life be like without a few surprises and some mystery? It would just be a routine sequence of events.

Traveling from Point A to Point B is a better experience as long as there is something new to look forward to.

What surprises will be waiting for me today? I can't wait to find out.
