Touring with Tom

The guy was really tall and thin, with really long, wild and thick hair the hung down to his shoulders. He looked about as old as me, maybe older, but wasn’t exactly dressed up for this event considering he was only wearing thin-cut jeans and a t-shirt with torn up converse shoes.

“Uh, Hello?” I said, hoping to find a little bit of entertainment from someone my age.

“Whuh?” He said. His voice was sorta low and relaxed, very chill.

“Is anyone even here for the open house?” I asked, trying to start a conversation.

“What open house?” He asked.

“There’s a sign on the door for an open house here.” I said.

“Oh, that.” He said. “In that case, I might as well show you around. What’s your name, bud?”

“Scot, what about yours?”

“My name’s Tom. Let’s walk around the first floor a little bit, i think you’ll like the place.”

“Sure.” I said.

    Ooh, I’m very intrigued. this sort of reminds me of the scene in “Bruce Almighty” when he first meets God in an empty building. Heh, if that’s the case her, this sounds like my kind of God.
    But in all seriousness, I’m interested to see where this goes. Especially with a warning like the one given previously!

    haha sweet. but two mistakes.. ((sorry!))
    the first paragraph it should be ‘that’ instead of ‘the’ and I believe his name should be ‘scott’ but I could be mistaken. It wouldn’t be the first time.

    overall nice job!!

    “What open house?” He asked. I love that this guy doesn’t quite pickup on the fact that the open house is happening. It would be really cool if it wasn’t his open house and he showed them around anyway.
