the stranger who came to town page 3 by ric gustafson
Homer opened the door of room 12. He walked in and turned on the light. The room was sparse. He put two black suitcases on the single bed. From one of the suitcases, he took out a small golden calf statue. He put it on top of the dresser. For the next hour, he chanted to the statue. Then he laid on the bed and took a nap.
" Hi Dad". Josh and Clarice Anderson walked into the lobby. Brandon was dusting the front counter.
" Hi Josh". Brandon smiled at the girl next to his son. " Hello Clarice".
" Hi Mr Marcotte".
Josh got some ice from the ice machine. " Any customers tonight?".
" Just one".
" Hello".
Startled, Josh turned to see a man wearing a red polo shirt and dark sunglasses.
" I'm Homer Tang". He gave Josh a strange look. " Nice to meet you".
When Josh shook Homer's hand, a strange feeling occured.
