Hi Guys

I don't usually do this but apparently it is very good for practicing our writing skills, to write short stories so here goes... ^^

Today I noticed one of the neighbors in our complex left their car lights on.

At first I made nothing of it, put the kettle on, made coffee, looked outside and the lights were still on, sigh. It's raining and cold but I got dressed, put my shoes on and decided to go tell my neighbor his battery might run flat soon.

Get to the door and I can hear a TV or radio running in the background, quite loud so I knock firmly on their wooden door and suddenly the TV or radio goes off...

I expect the door to open shortly after but nothing happens so I knock firmly again... nothing. Certainly there is someone inside who heard me knocking and turned off their TV or radio when they heard me knocking.

No answer.

What next?

In our complex we have a security guard that walks around the perimeter so I asked her to go and try knock on the door and see if she would get a response. She managed to succeed where I failed, the neighbor came out, turned on the car for a while to get the battery charged and problem solved!

So slightly wet and cold I came back to enjoy the rest of my coffee and now sharing this story with you guys lol.

Just goes to show that people out there are willing to help you, all you have to do is open the door when they come knocking :)

Regards from South Africa.
