Big Bird

The old man (Stan), Big Bird his name, was two meters from the apartment of three, second floor flat side, sitting in her room every evening after returning from the bar, trying to read the newspaper, HDTV, a bottle of whiskey at his side at the same table end, a packet of cigarettes, a bottle of whiskey drinking was in the ashtray, there was quite a while, but went up, he had 76 years on this earth.

Each day had to go to the bar at noon, take your meal, take a walk, up, down Rice Street (St. Paul, Minnesota), then go to his apartment in the alley and take a nap, then up to about five hours, and start drinking, returned from 9:00-11:00, and turn on the TV above, and start the routine just mentioned. He had lived in the apartment for fifteen years. Big Bird, shouted at anyone who tried to stop his routine, his family does not care that much, their children do not seem to get on his nerves when he went to visit him, and when her daughter to clean her apartment, he should leave, not enter into a confrontation with her.

Sometimes it was gone for a few days, and Mr. Murphy, owner of the house three residential buildings, which had bought five years ago, and it would be easy to say, if one of her children appeared and asked him where he was

"I had not seen for days, I'll let you know that you asked, and generally to Mr. Murphy knew that the tenant will not be disturbed by children or anyone commonplace elsewhere, and for the most part, do not blame Big Bird shot only with claws for something, and the wise old man that they thought.

Appeared, or at least not until Mr. Murphy, Big Bird does not want his misfortunes in old age the heart of common humanity to soothe, he left long ago, as a small child, their parents, once their growth. He did not alienate his children or anyone in particular but it was old, and increasingly weak, and his manner was strange, if not strong, and he loved it that way.

But back to high definition television at night, and his drinking and smoking, foot became eyes each night, this little devil of a dirty face, and he was strong voice, as he seemed to struggle with his demon. Mr. Murphy lived in the apartment two, through his apartment, and heard tonight, and Big Bird will leave the window open, allowing a storm, rain and wind during the winter, snow to move your apartment, Murphy would sometimes need to enter and close it, Big Bird never locked them up had trouble finding the keys. Then he concluded an agreement with Big Bird, he smoked, he could not drink in your room, and if you choose to drink, he could not smoke in your room. Well, it chose to drink and then quit for a while, then gradually started to increase again. It was not a decision problem: you just want to do what he wanted to do a bit of a lost man, perhaps, or maybe, I thought, 'Why not now in my old age, which is bad enough, being just old.

Regardless of all this, the more uncomfortable Murphy was on television and lights on all night, and he collapsed in his chair, sofa. Mean, Mr Murphy paid the electricity bill no tenants.

"Sir," said Mr. Murphy, Big Bird leaving her apartment one morning for breakfast, it was at that time, the more sober times, and he said bluntly, but also uncomfortable, looking into the eyes of Big Bird, because he was eight inches taller than Mr. Murphy,

"It a waste of my money and dumb to leave the TV on all night and went into the chair, I have to pay the bill. "

Then, Mr. Murphy would say: "Forget it, because the old man simply looked stunned in the interview, as if Mr. Murphy urged him. Long seemed to think, conjecture inconsistent, trying to understand this after Mr. Murphy, and even then it was Big Bird said with a smile of understanding peculiar

"Here is the cover of this extra electricity bill every month?"

That Mr. Murphy gave $ 20, Mr. Murphy had imagined to be at least seven to fourteen dollars per month, depending, therefore, twenty dollars was more than enough.

"Oh yes," he said in a softer voice, "that nicely."

And that's all. He died of cancer six months later (in 2002) and paid their last months rent, but never came to live in his apartment for the last few days was all he had left his life, and if you 've weighed all this for nothing, went to the apartment and its right to live as he pleases.
