The Man
The man he sits there in his driveway no excitement not even a sound, the same stuff each day he puts on the same scruffled clothing and gets ready to go to his time and energy absorbing job but he never shaves his black beard something I have noticed for a while. He is a mechanic you can tell because he is wearing a jumpsuit or what appears similar to one. When he returns home after a hard days work he is smothered in car grease, with dirt all over his hands like a glove and the grease from oil clenched to the underneath of his fingernails and he does it every day. One day upon returning he says to me as I am walking to my car “I am bored with my life it is so simple like I am controlled by a dictatorship and can’t escape because I barely have an income to start saving and if I quit I won’t have a job”, and I responded “you should change it then and try to do something more exciting and exhilarating but be smart and don’t make any quick decisions like a teenagers.” The man said the next day when he got back from work that “he is getting a little older and is tired at the end of the day” I thought to myself that this is why I said change it up and do something different” But I simply responded with a smile and said “remember what I said yesterday.”
The next day the man changes it up, but instead of acting like my bold and muscular self I decide to say “Don’t have work today?” He responded “no I don’t have it I quit!” I was surprised by this but acted not to be the man had quit his job to change something in his life. The man said “goodbye” and I said “goodbye.” We both parted ways and smiled and I knew that I would see him tomorrow but with a smile on his face ready to go the next day.

This is nothing special it is not a master piece it is just a normal piece of writing, it is about an average man who is old and is aging and wants to do something more exciting with his life which I mean come on life isn't life without being able to have some excitement right?!?!
