Gypsies

Eerie

They are gone, my godson and his mother. The kid took his trains and puzzles with him.
My computers won’t be used anymore for playing games on www.thomasandfriends.com Finally I will be able to work.
But the silence in the apartment is now somehow eerie.
The Indian guy who sells me The New York Times every morning will ask tomorrow: “Where is the boy?” Since I don’t have my godson’s charm.
Mother and son left with four suitcases, two bags and a buggy.
I turn people into gypsies.
