Bowler Hat Man on the Stairs

P8

By James GreenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

A walk up the stairs. A curtain in the wall laid bare.

Peel it back. What do you see?

A man sitting there with a pipe, bowler hat, pants, rest bare.

"Bare your thoughts to me." Bowler hat man said with a smile.

"What thoughts do I have? I'm just here walking stairs for a while."

"Carry on your climb, and take rest if you need. These stairs can be arduous." Bowler hat man said, smiling with his teeth.

"I'll do my best this is new to me. I have never been here before."

"Then you should keep your eyes open as you never know what's in store." Bowler hat man said, his legs crossed on the floor.

"Thank you, I'll do that. Goodbye, farewell."

"If you need help, just yell. I'll be sitting here. Enjoy your stair fairytale." Bowler hat man said, closing his curtain for now.
