    About this ebook

    Clify has grown old.
    Confined to the front porch of the little blue house, he spends his remaining days watching. Watching and observing. He watches as the years slip by for his granddaughter, filling lonely days with a curious obsession for stones. The old man worries about his precious girl. After he is gone will she dwell in her elder years all alone? It shouldn’t be. She has too much to share.
    The old man worries.
    Then one day, an ordinary day, a stranger comes to town ...
    A Day in the Life is the sparse tale of one single day in the life of an old man. Will this be just another everyday or will it turn out to be a day like no other?
