the old lady.

The other day I was driving down the road and I saw an old lady walking on the sidewalk. She looked lost, so I pulled over. I asked her if she needed a ride. She said she didn’t know where she was. I could tell she was ill. She could barely walk. She could barely talk. She got in my car and started crying. I asked her where she needed to go. She told me an address. It wasn’t far from where she was wandering. I asked her where she was coming from. She said home. I asked her who she lives with. She said her husband. I wondered where he was. I didn’t ask. I asked her where she was going. She didn’t answer me. I dropped her off. I gave her my number. I told her to call me if she needed a ride home. She got out and left. She never called me.
