A few weeks ago my facebook friend Judy Roberts shared a story from a site called Astonishing by Grace Jenkins. The story began with this hook that caught my attention
My name’s Arnold. I’m 66. Used to fix trucks for 40 years down at Horace’s Garage. Retired now. Most days feel…. quiet. Too quiet. My wife, Jessica, works part-time at the hospital, so the house echoes. I’d sit there, staring at my hands that could rebuild an engine blindfolded but didn’t know what to do anymore. Felt invisible. Like dust on a shelf.
