Chapter 212

• STORY 79- Mr. Electric-
• A small cargo van pulled into my driveway. It had the company name on the side: Mr. Electric in big yellow letters set on top of a bolt of lightning. There was a lingering fear in me whether I had made the right decision. My main intent was to get the outside of the house decorated. Could Mr. Electric decorate my home without making me look tacky among my neighbors?
• My house should be bright for the holidays. White lights trimming the roof. Shrubs blinking in red and green. The pine tree in the front yard brightened with floodlights casting classic holiday ambiance. I didn’t want to do it, especially climbing on the roof. Me and ladders don’t go together.
