Grandfather

Jenny slowly swung open the door to her grandfather’s house. The air smelled musty, and dust motes danced before her eyes. Just today she had received a letter from her grandfather’s attorney, letting her know that the $20,000 he had set aside for her would be deposited into her account. Tears formed behind her eyes. She needed the money for her school tuition, but she would gladly give it up to have her grandfather back.
