Cosey

The hobo had noticed that the old vacant property had been empty for several weeks.

It was a two-story house that was well passed its best. Despite the ‘For Sale’ sign, it didn’t look as though it would sell anytime soon. He decided to check it out. Daylight was failing as he wandered around the back, nevertheless he found a window that had not been fully closed. It was easy to climb in. Once inside, he made his way through all the rooms. There wasn’t much in the way of furniture. What there was, had also seen better days. On the top landing, he found a hatch in the ceiling and a pulldown ladder. With some difficulty, he managed to climb up into the loft.

Of course, no lights were working. Only skylights in the roof let in a soft glow from the outside street lamps. It was really quite spacious with very little in it. Despite this, he found enough material in the way of old sheets and blankets to make up a fairly cosey bed for himself. In fact, he had such a good night’s sleep that he slept right through to late morning the next day.

That’s when he found a plate of food scraps near the hatch. He was convinced it was not there when he first climbed in. Did someone know he was there? Was this merely a kindness on somebody’s part?

He was unaware of the pest controller’s visit earlier that morning.

…and he certainly didn’t know about the rat bait!
