Jack opened the glass door and walked into the dim entryway. He squinted his eyes and saw a receptionist desk straight ahead. Behind it was a young woman.
" May I help you?".
" Yes, my name is Jack Dallas" he said as he squinted again. " I'm from the light bulb company".
" Oh yes, we've been expecting you".
He felt a bump on his leg. He turned to see a boy holding a soccer ball.
" Sorry mister" he quietly replied as he held tightly onto his ball. " In the dark, it's hard to see where the ball goes".
Jack pulled out a new light bulb from his bag and unscrewed the one that was in the lamp on the receptionist's desk. He put in the new light bulb and the reception area lit up
" Thank you Mr Dallas" Irene Wilcox said with a smile. She pointed to the boy. " Mikey, can you take Mr Dallas to your dad's office".
" Sure".



Everyone take care. Love Ric.
