Salt and Light page 3 by ric gustafson
Jack opened the glass door and walked into the dim entryway. He squinted his eyes and noticed a receptionist desk straight ahead. Behind it was a young woman. He quietly walked up.
She smiled at him. " May I help you?".
" My name is Jack Dallas". He squinted again. " I'm from the light bulb company".
" Oh yes, we've been expecting you".
Jack felt something hit his leg. He looked down to see a boy holding a soccer ball.
" Sorry mister" he said as he held tightly onto the white and black ball. " In the dark, it's hard to see where it goes".
Jack pulled out a light bulb from his black bag and unscrewed the old one that was in the lamp on the receptionist's desk. He screwed the bulb in and bright light lit up the whole reception area.
" Thank you Mr Dallas" Irene Wilcox said with a grin. She pointed to the boy. " Mikey, will you take Mr Dallas to your Dad's office?".
" Sure".
