 a story for a sandwich page 1 by ric gustafson

I stopped at the corner of Patmos Avenue. When I jogged, I had a specific route I took. It was then I noticed the old man. He was sitting in an old folding chair waving at the passing cars. It was a very hot day. Luckily, the old man was wearing all white. I jogged up to him. 

He smiled at me. " Morning Carlos".

I stopped. " How did you know my name is Carlos?".

He pointed to a small sign around his neck. It read ' a story for a sandwich".

I smiled. " I'll buy you a sandwich". I walked over to a nearby convience store. I came back with a sandwich and a bottled water. To my surprise, a folding chair was set up next to the stranger. In the chair, was a sandwich and a bottled water.

The stranger smiled. " Please join me Carlos".

We sat down. We began to eat our sandwiches.

The old man smiled. " And now a story".
