An old man with a wrinkled face and large dark glasses sat reading the midday paper. He was late today, the sun had already set long ago, but he seemed not to mind as he reclined comfortably in the big easy chair.
Out of the evening quiet a little voice rose to break the silence. “Grandpa?”
“Mmm?” the old man grunted, not wanting to be disturbed quite yet.
A little boy peeked his head around the corner, a concerned look on his face. “I accidentally sneezed in the orange juice…will grandma be really mad if I throw it all away?”
