Driving home at night, the usual route. I am tired and discouraged from a long meeting with the Christians.

The three story house on Van Buren street is different tonight. A light is shinning in the second story window. I stop to look. I have never seen a light on in the house during the 35 years I have driven up this street. The light seems ordinary.

I have heard stories about this well maintained large empty house surrounded by tiny rented apartments. I don't know why it has been empty for so long.

I resist knocking on the door to see who is living here. I'm too tired and I want to get into my own warm house. Maybe tomorrow in the daylight I can spot the occupants.
